At the same time, cops who cross the line have to be held accountable. That's part of the support system. The intervention doesn't have to be negative, unless an innocent person dies of course.  
In light of all that, though, do you oppose involving social workers in more emergency calls?

Social workers are completely understaffed, underpaid and overworked. Adding something else to their plate is ridiculous! We see so many child abuse cases and child murders, because social workers have such a large case load that they can't get to regular welfare checks on the kids they already have and now people want to get them involved in an entirely different set of calls? It's just "stealing from Peter, to pay Paul."

Long term, I think we need a lot more social workers.
And the ones that work for the government also need to start a buddy/partner system like cops often use for their difficult calls.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
