[quote=Anonymous]I wonder where this will go? https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/02/23/dc-police-mental-health-response-lawsuit-justice-department/ CA has made involuntary commitment easier, and Newsome signed it. Better for the individual to get treatment and be stabilized and better for public safety and order. DC seems to be moving in the opposite direction, still. The number of people who are mentally ill and on the streets and the number of people committing crimes are not infinite categories. It's that nothing effective is done re: either group that causes huge amounts of resources to be spent, to little effect. SF is talking about drug testing before benefits - will that drive more vagrants and addicts east? Many jurisdictions still provide a free bus ticket, after all. [/quote]
