 Re: Mental Health Funding - Did I just see a flying pig? 16 messages | Select a forum: |

We work very closely with the cops, but the cops are not trained in mental health issues. People go nuts in jail cells. The prisons are crowded with mad folk. I don't know if you've ever seen inside a prison, but they really are hell-holes for the mad. Part of our job is to get some of those poor souls into treatment. That is their law. If I see someone who may be mentally ill on the street I am legally obliged and discretly aware that I HAVE to help them. I have a legal and more importantly a moral responsibility to help the mentally unwell. If you see someone on the street having a cardiac arrest, most people would help. If you see somebody on the street having a mental crisis? Who helps? Us lot! People run away. That is not fair in any kind of democracy. This cop spoke out though. A very brave man. https://mentalhealthcop.wordpress.com/full-index/ Reply | with quote | Posted by Markoid 2nd March 2016ce 18:58 In reply to: Re: Mental Health Funding - Did I just see a flying pig?
