Well then you're missing my point


Spoiler: It's that the world isn't ending.

Major US municipalities are NOT going to start conducting law enforcement via the honor system and free hugs. Moving some calls from armed peace officers to properly trained social workers is not something to be terrified of. Like anything else where 50 different organizations try things 50 different ways, some experiments will be more successful than others. In the long run, the willingness to try new things to address long standing unsolved issues is a STRENGTH, not a weakness, and will ultimately result in better solutions for everyone.

Some people seem to find reassurance in confirmation that their fears are reality, and to that end continue to imagine that all things really are the worst of all possibilities. I recognize that not all off those people will see what they're doing when confronted with the absurdity of it. Some are so deeply committed to their fears that even when confronted with actual evidence proving them wrong, will simply deny it. So I choose the path that I find most entertaining to myself. This is the lounge. Entertainment is the entire damned point.
