How could we help the situation… make half the cops social workers or…. just a wild thought, have cops wearing cameras, so that they can go over the interaction with a social worker who will teach them how they could have improved the interaction. But no… cameras are bad… we couldn’t possibly do that.

We definitely need cop-social worker units. We have other hybrids like nurse-practioners. This definitely needs to happen.
