The city of Seattle is hiring social workers as part of a program that removes police from policing. They're sending social workers to be hurt or killed.

Under the Alternative Response Team pilot program, the city will send unarmed civilian mental health professionals to certain 911 calls. Six mental health community responders will respond, generally, to emergencies related to drug addiction, mental illness, environmental threats, and personal safety. Once on site, they will “determine best course for care or to recommend ongoing case management ,” according to a job posting for the responders.
In June 2002, King County Sheriff’s Deputy Richard Herzog responded to a crisis call around 5 p.m. in the afternoon. A naked man was causing a disturbance in the middle of a road, pounding on cars and interrupting traffic. Without a weapon, it’s precisely the type of call that a crisis responder would handle.smoked crack cocaine
Herbold, along with her council colleagues Andrew Lewis, Tammy Morales, and Teresa Mosqueda, developed this plan thanks to the Black Lives Matter and Antifa domestic terrorism in 2020. “I thought that had been tried and failed already. That amazes me. It is going to be an unmitigated disaster. I don’t even know social workers that are for that [program] anymore,” Fortney exclusively tells the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH.law enforcement on certain calls.
Homelessness has worsened thanks to the city’s permissive approach to drug use. And it all started precisely when the Seattle City Council got in the way of police being able to do their jobs. It strains credulity to think a solution is to continue to remove police from the equation. But Seattle councilmembers continue to either be blinded by their ideology, or they simply don’t care that their policies and political agenda are failing so spectacularly.
