People rob banks because they don't bother to apply for Obamacare and because they don't have childcare?
That is rich.
Yeh, send social worker to calm down a violent felon. 
Good luck.[/quote]

Example I like to use is so you send a mental health worker to a non violent domestic situation. What happens if one party becomes violent? You run the possibility of having two potential victims instead of one. You still need a police officer at that point. The violence would have probably been prevented if the police had responded in the first place.[/quote]

There are helplines for non violent situations already in place. All flavors - religious, youth, suicide, women. They can call. 
When it gets violent and 911 is called what do a mental health worker gonna do? Yelp from behind an officer ''please refrain from slicing your wife, let me talk you out of it''?

ALL help for those who are willing to except it is already available.

The only change that I would like to see is bringing back state funded mental institutions. [/quote]
