Is Albuquerque P D Getting Modern Or Getting Stupid ?
by Bob Walsh
Albuquerque
is the largest city in the state of New Mexico. About 400,000 poor
bastards live there. The Mayor, Tim Keller, has just announced the
formation of a new public safety department. Albequerque Public Safety
will respond to 911 calls relating to drunkeness, homelessness,
addiction and mental health. The 911 responders will be unarmed social
workers, housing and homelessness specialists and violence prevention
coordinators.
It is not completely clear who will make the initial determination as to whether or not to send real cops or fake cops.
The
mayor believes it will take "tens of millions of dollars" to fund this
new agency. It is not yet completely clear where this money will come
from. Perhaps the money fairy will leave it under his bed. The P D is
currently significantly under strength and the officer's union is very
much opposed to taking money from the P D to fund this new agency.
I
predict this program will be a huge success, right up until the time a
social worker and a violence prevention coordinator respond to a "mental
health crisis" and are slaughtered by a drunk psychopath armed with a
machete. After that the program will take a modest downturn. IMHO.
