Tell your friend to get literally any other job, something honorable perhaps

Ya I mean that’s definitely part of it, the American lifestyle robs too many of us of our connection to nature and to other people. Instead of relieving of us this absurd work burden we spend money on police whose only job is to protect the system. There simply isn’t a system in place to adequately deal with instances of mental health crises on a large scale so it’s on communities and individuals to do their best. Ultimately the only way out of this spiral is ending the system that propagates it and to do away with the police that use violence as a first option

I can’t imagine being a father in that scenario but we need to get the message out that calling the cops in that type of situation will never help
