“Every sheriff will tell you their jail is the largest hospital in the county. They’ll say, oh, we run the largest mental health institution in the county. And they say it like it’s a job that they should be doing. But if it is, in fact, the largest mental health institution, then why on earth is a law enforcement officer running it?”
The reason is, Americans only care about themselves and won't pay their fair share of taxes to pay for reasonable services. We fail to understand that looking out for our fellow man and being fair impacts our own lives, way more than fancy, big cars and streaming TV. Thank you for drawing attention to this issue John. Looking forward to the documentary.
"They won't pay their fair share of taxes" This an excuse and a call for altruism and I reject your statement. The problem dates back a few years when the liberal idiots closed most of the mental hospitals. Now, the slack is taken up by the hospital emergency rooms and the jails. It is no wonder there is so much recividism. The other problem is that a lot of people are not getting nutritous food which can cause psychotic episodes. Then another problem, when they get seen by a head doc they get SSRI's and they can cause even more problems. Have you seen TV commercials about mood boosting drugs? They say at the bottom in small print, "may cause suicidal thoughts".
