They’d never frame it this way but it seems like Phoenix is leading the way in defunding the police.

The city of Phoenix has expanded a program that handles calls related to mental health, substance abuse and crisis intervention. In turn, it’s helping take a load off fire and police departments.

CAP consists of crisis response units and behavioral health units, along with behavioral health dispatchers. The city hired 48 more caseworkers who started working in July, bringing the total number of staff to nearly 80.

Disagree that it’s difficult to police it. In real life, it’s literally “Hey, you’re being a douche, knock it off” followed by “get the fuck out of my house/bar/restaurant/whatever if they don’t.”

People really like litigating rules and appropriate punishments and get off on ‘winning’. Immediately invoking the nuclear option ruins their game you fascist.

It’s why we’re all here, at some level.

All this stuff never ceases to amaze me, like what do companies think is the upside of this stuff especially compared to just making some generic corporate statement of remembrance or whatever

Is there a “Saudi hijacker” parlay where you bet on all 3 teams to lose?

Corporate memorial “gestures” are so cringey. That DK bet is willllldd. Like I’m assuming someone had to propose that idea, and at least one other person had to okay it.

No way the Yankees win so there isn’t much risk…
