This is awesome. The stories they share in the article really go to show that this makes a big difference for helping people. When we talk about police reform, this is the kind of thing we should be advocating, not "defunding"

Always defund police. We don't need them and this is a prime example of that.

They are just a boot.

An ER nurse wouldn't feel safe walking the streets on their own. The pairing of someone trained in protecting and someone trained in healing is clearly working well given the content of the article.

someone trained in protecting

I don't know that I've ever seen a cop protecting anything other than a storefront
