Also this guy is a threat to the general public. I’d think you’d be happy they are there to protect us.

It’ll be referred to by local news, Hugo Soto Martinez and Nithya Raman as “a mental health crisis” when it’s really a drug problem. City Hall just won’t acknowledge the drug problem.

@90068Guitarist And what's your solution to a "drug problem?" Prohibition? Like that's ever worked...

Damn Democrats!

As if Republicans give AF.

Because the people voted for $950 theft to be only a misdemeanor! It’s not with the paperwork. Would you want to take down a man wielding a knife by yourself?

@Nic_M Not sure what your first statement has to do with the question you posed. "Crazy man with knife" is certainly a problem worthy of police, but then what?
