And "maga fascists" tripe rears its head once again.  JT, you have to come up with a different mantra...your "go to" quip is older than Nancy Pelosi's panties.

    This gets better and better. NYC leftists will soon be praying for Trump to save them from themselves and their stupid decisions. Love it!

Interesting comment from one of the most prolific troll posters on here.

You sir are correct.  JT's mantra is "think like me, agree with me, or you are a maga fascist"

Look this guy has a democratic socialist label so to knee jerk people there is no policy he can propose that they will be able to support. That is stupid. Some of his ideas are sensible and possibly doable and others not. Be fair.

For example Trump who I consider to be leading a fascist movement and even though I strongly oppose fascism recently proposed lowering the costs on anti obesity drugs. That appears to be both possible to do and a fantastically beneficial policy idea. Heck, they should be free.

Typical lefty response.  Why can't the left realize, NOTHING IS FREE.  Somebody has to pay the bills...hint, it's the taxpayers.

You mean a thread title with absolutely no context, evidence, supporting link, but just a cartoon? That one?

Is that all you need to go on? I know you do like to believe absolutely everything you are told but even for you that is a bit flaky. A thread title is evidence?

In the case of anti-obesity pills, depending on how much the government pays for the pill, and who is deemed eligible to get them, huge savings could be realized in Medicare and Medicaid due to lower rates of diabetes, heart disease and some other conditions as well including possibly drug and alcohol addiction.

what the eff has that got to do with the OP.  Another lefty tactic, change the subject.  Social workers to anti-obesity pills?  Try and keep up with the subject at hand...or maybe that's beyond your ability 🙄

Exactly. Lowering the cost will save the government a lot of money.

Making them free would save much more money.

Who wouldn't want to spend  a dollar to save ten as much as possible?

Replying to your comment about it. Your reply only confirms my suspicion that you don't actually know what it is you write.

Why Social Workers Cannot Work With Police

Some are suggesting social workers work hand in hand with police. That simply doesn’t work.

 

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/08/social-workers-police-collaborate.html

Im not sure about that. In the event of a violent crime, the victim can call social services to come and give the rampaging criminal a hug and if that doesn't work then call police? Cant see how that wont work.....🤣😅😂

brilliant, absolutely brilliant,  just imagine the caution 

" you have the right to counselling, if you cannot afford a counsellor one will be appointed for you, you have the right to be referred to by the pronoun of your choice, You have the right to self identify as any gender, If at any time you feel offended you have the right to a safe space.  You may wear the face covering of your choice. Any answers you may give whilst under caution will not affect your welfare benefits"

No doubt they will convert the prisons into walk in  centers 

 The criminals must be shaking in their boots.....with laughter

Just curious how many social workers will Mamdani use for his security detail?  If he is a true believer of his BS, then zero police officers will be assigned to protect him...only social workers.

Maybe the social workers can hop on the free buses to get to the scene of the crime. On the way back to the office they could if they wish pop into one of the city run supermarkets.

they will be issued with those segway type devices or bus tokens , it will be their choice, no pressure of course and counselling available for those who cannot decide

Straw man garbage.

Obviously none as social workers aren't a fit for such roles.

You guys are either being deliberately dense for comic effect, or you are just that dense. I know it's the latter.

 

"These are not incidents that might necessarily be categorized in COMPStat or as a crime, but they are moments that showcase a mental health crisis, a homelessness crisis, and we have asked police officers to be the ones responsible and to respond to that," Mamdani said. 

 

He said decoupling the mental health response from a police response would ease pressure on NYPD officers, letting them focus more on what they signed up for and are trained to do, like respond to shootings, murders and other serious crimes. 

 

"Our vision for a Department of Community Safety, the DCS, is that we would have teams of dedicated mental health outreach workers that we deploy to the hundred [subway] stations with the highest levels of mental health crises, to respond to those incidents and get those New Yorkers out of the subway system and to the services that they actually need," he said. 

 

The NYPD currently responds to approximately 180,000 calls involving emotionally disturbed individuals, according to testimony in a New York City Council hearing. Mamdani believes he can replicate a similar program launched in Oregon, where he says 90% of those types of calls were handled without police involvement. 

 

He is not replacing police with social workers, he is not putting social workers as security detail. It is a sensible approach to have the people who are trained to deal with homelessness and mental health to deal with it rather than untrained police who have to deal with so many call outs that they shouldn't have to. Mental health professionals respond to mental health issues. Police respond to police issues. 

Rather sensible, no? But that takes reading and research to understand, not just reacting to one idiot's cartoon - I don't expect you to get it. And is was one of his policies that he campaigned on and people voted for.

They won't be returning to the office , it will be straight home for some therapy followed by a few weeks sick leave, bless them

Won't do much good of they don't have the "tools" to help the homeless eg vacant beds in refuges

And not ALL homeless want to be helped

Lol! MAGA claiming to do their own thinking are just parroting the biased propaganda they are fed with! :laugh: :laugh::laugh:

 

It is about replacing police with social workers only for non-violent 911 calls!

in the same way they are not fit to be police officers.   That "nobody fails"   degree in applied social science was never worth the paper it was printed on or the time spent ( 1 hr per month)  studying for it 

Problem with Mamdani is he's a brown-skinned ethnic Indian Muslim from Uganda. That's about as an un-WASP other as you can get. And he makes it worse by being telegenic, charismatic and whip-smart.

 

God forbid he succeeds. 

 

Added: His mother makes great movies.

I'm sure there are situations where cops are sent where social workers would have been more effective and vice versa.

No policy designed by humans can possibly be perfect and without risk.

But using social workers sometimes in specifically defined types of situations is obviously very sensible and will obviously do more good than harm. 

 

Using Social Workers to make house-calls, in place of cops?

 

That is CRAZINESS.

 

Only a fool Indian from Ghana would suggest such a thing.

Life has no value there, as we know.

 

Wham Bam, Thank You Mamdani....

 

The guy is dangerous because he never studied logic.

 

But I do not intend to return to NYC, and so I hope this wingnut is given a completely unfettered hand to show the world just how foolish a fool can be.

 

Meanwhile, I will remain here, in Thailand, a place of relative sanity, and enjoy the view of the deterioration of NYC.

 

Pass me the the Vindaloo...and keep it coming.
