The foundation of the new policy is that New York state will be able to authorize first responders to forcibly hospitalize mentally ill New Yorkers who cannot meet their own basic needs such as food, shelter or medical care.

      Go advocate for freedom instead of arguing with me. Presumably, you aren’t even from the United States, so how can you claim to be an expert?

          You are claiming that police respect due process and rights. You do not know the extent to which rights are violated by US law enforcement, or more recently and publicly, by ICE and the current administration.

            So you’re an expert on it I assume? What qualifications did you have to get to have that title?

              I have lived in the United States and I am privy to what our cops do. Qualified immunity is pretty all-encompassing.
