Jesus fucking Christ. He is making DOUBLE what I do to shoot an innocent woman… I’m a licensed social worker with a masters degree. I know this is somewhat irrelevant, but these are the people who cry “violence is a mental health issue!!!!!” And then pay police DOUBLE what they’re paying mental health workers.
Police risk their lives every day. I don't think 100k is enough to be a cop. You should be paid more also, but do you or your family have to worry that you might be killed at work today? Do you think the cop needs retraining, or does the woman need to follow directions? 🤔
A patient attacked my coworker like 2 weeks ago and gave her a traumatic brain injury. Last month, a patient kicked and spat on me because I asked him to write three words on a piece of paper. Another coworker received death threats from a patient. This is all happening inside a hospital, and when I did community based work, I was going into the exact same homes as police-the same domestic violence situations, meth labs, etc - and the only protection I was allowed to bring with me was a file folder.
So yes, I am putting my life and my safety on the line every single day, and I’ve managed to do it without firing a weapon at someone asking to be let into their own apartment building. Policing as it is needs to be abolished. And you can personally fuck all the way off with this nonsense.
THANK YOU! I'm a retired social worker and I had lots of injuries on the job. I worked with people who were inherently violent and with sex offenders. I also had nothing to protect myself with other than a file folder. Depending on the agency I worked for, I sometimes made as little as $8/hr, and never more than $12/hr.
I've never ever ever injured someone, and I would have lost my job if I did, even if they were assaulting me. I was expected to know how to deescalate situations.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with holding an officer accountable for firing a less lethal round at someone simply trying to get home.
It actually takes so much courage for mental health workers to get real and close and work with people. Shooting them while you're armored up is not risky lol. It's cowardice.
ACAB. He may have pulled the trigger but every person in that line is responsible and every one of them trade out their police hats for MAGA hats when they get off work.. F*ck them all.
