Defund the Police! Or... support, retrain, reallocate.
Police and the severely mentally ill do not always live in harmony. On this episode, Eddie and Justin break down the history of this relationship, and try to offer evidence based solutions to help police and other social services help people in crisis. The emphasis is on understanding and helping and not blaming the police, despite the buzzword in the title.
