How's that send in a social worker plan going, libs?

Sometimes you have to send in more than one...

[BookmanTheJanitor]

To social worker: "I need you to check on someone"

Social worker: "sure".

Arriving Social worker: "Ah, crap".

[dfwgator]

Sorry bout what happened to the social worker, but I still have to laugh.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Is it illegal to murder a social worker? I always thought killing a social worker was considered an act of self-defense.

[shanover]

America the toilet. Demographics and politics is our destiny.

People may think this is funny but it’s sad. Sad that some cities are putting “social workers” in violent situations. It’s sad that some cities are considering this. And sad that schools are teaching classes to young dumb people who will get hurt like this person was. It’s all just sad.

What's sad is that city taxpayers are going to pay the settlement to this social worker, often in the hundreds of thousands, and pay for their early "retirement" because they were put in a situation they shouldn't have been.

Dems want morons and that’s all they want...To keep power they would destroy their own children/grandchildren...They don’t care about anyone’s safety....NO ONE......

if obama had a son with a latino hochy mamma...

[butlerweave]

Why is he still alive ?

[qwerty1234]

They should have sent in a second social worker to save the first one...and then as many as it takes, just let the bodies keep piling up.

What Holyoke needs is the Connecticut river to rise up out of its banks and wash all the filth away - human and otherwise -and then start over.

There is not much worth saving in the city.

Hopefully take West Springfield with it.

Yep...he was out among the population. Some guy who sat at Pelosi’s desk...not to much.

[Irenic]

Rivera was’t killed, it worked. /s

[Trailerpark Badass]

At least they’re actually earning their upper middle-class lifestyle now. Maybe people will be less eager to sponge off taxpayers in useless, do-nothing jobs.

[SaxxonWoods]

One riot, one social worker.

Sounds legit. Used to work in the old days.

[Vermont Lt]

I don’t think this was one of those scenarios. I think it was a normal social worker visit.

But the point is valid.

(Holyoke—the city down the street from me—is a mess.)

Instead of sending second social worker, the appropriate response would be to send in a Community Organizer.
