That’s pretty interesting.

Lots of police stories we hear are officers going out on some kind of domestic issue... usually with drugs or alcohol involved

It’s seems to be as much a criminal as a social problem. Why not send out a ‘social worker’ along with the police on those calls?

Even better: Send out a social justice warrior?. See how long he/she lasts?

It seems it would be more "compassionate" to send out a social worker instead of police.

Domestic disturbance calls are the most dangerous calls for police to respond to. When emotions and anger are out of control in at least one party in the disturbance the officers are entering a minefield. A social worker would be insane or have no sense of self preservation to show up.
