Chicago Mayor-Elect Brandon Johnson (D) told CBS News on Thursday his plan to tackle the city's crime problem: Send more social workers to crime scenes.
Johnson, a staunch progressive, pointed to instances where police killed black men as evidence to say more police officers are not the solution.
"This is really about making sure that people understand the context of the level of frustration when you see that type of brutalization over and over again, it can be discouraging," Johnson explained.
"We're working to double the amount of young people we hire, not just for summer jobs, but for year-round positions," he continued. "We've been pushing this ordinance called 'Treatment, Not Trauma.' In essence, first responders, social workers, counselors, EMT[s], these individuals would show up to calls that require those type of interventions."
Johnson said at least 40 percent of the 9-1-1 calls in the city deal with "mental health crises."

“Who the Hell is going to apply for one of these positions? Seriously?”
A City of Chicago job is considered “being in politics”. The applicants will be Democrats who want a no-show paycheck and benefits.
The black community will either heal itself, or it will continue on its current path. There is no other possible solution. The only way it will heal itself is by law-abiding black men (the majority, but not by the margin one would hope for) asserting themselves and telling their usual community leaders to STFU. Simple, but not easy. Like the rest of our society, it probably has to crash before it can get better.
For the lions, quite well...
“Chicago Mayor-Elect Brandon Johnson (D)”
I mean, his name is literally Brandon. What could go wrong? Let’s go Brandon!
Maybe, but considering the pussification of everything, it’s only going to take a couple of commonplace occurrences that happen in Chicago, Detroit, New York, etc that police deal with, and we’ll see those dreamers contemplating how good they had it living in mom’s basement eating Hotpockets. I hate seeing this happen.
I’m glad this thread came up. I saw this video a few hours ago and was a little confused at first because he has been called a mayor then in the video he was labeled a commissioner. Then I noticed the video was 3 weeks old.
Anyway…it sound like a joke but he is saying in this video he wants to combat crime by defunding the police dept and using the money to give free stuff to the “…” elements of society. (you fill in the blank).
Chicago is far worse off than I thought (which says a lot) when they choose someone more radical as a substitute for Beetlejuice.

I am all for this. I think it is a great way for liberal social workers to practice their anti-racism training.
Well when it gets really bad someone can say Beetlejuice 3 times and Lori might come back
Johnson said at least 40 percent of the 9-1-1 calls in the city deal with “mental health crises.”
I bet the cops are laughing their butts off. They hate responding to those calls anyway.
Now instead having to deal with dangerous deranged idiots all day they can they can just show up to draw a chock outline of the dead social workers.
I went to Milwaukee on mine...
I was at GLNTC in 1967 also...What company were in??? I was in 339...
Another fool to rule a declining city. I feel sorry for the Chicagoans who didn’t vote for this moron.
The way we’re going a number of places will, or should, be walled off.....NY, Chiraq, LA, ATL, or basically, any major city run by dims.
Company 380 Chief Lampp. Early August arrival. Thanks for your service.
Sounds like you’re describing Mark Robinson.
Thank you also for your service...I graduated middle September, 1967...Went to “A” School in Philadelphia...
There, I learned what a REAL Cheesesteak was....LOL
....Johnson has made it clear in the past some crimes are not a big deal. When he was Cook County Commissioner in 2020, he refused multiple to condemn the widespread looting that broke out during the BLM riots, saying there were reasons why people were robbing stores at such an acute level.
***********************************************************
....lol, “there were reasons why people were robbing stores at such an acute level”.
Yeah Brandon, and “there are reasons why stores are moving out of Democratic run cities by the hundreds”. You have just certified yourself as a complete, total, un-educated, ignorant dumbass!!!
I am really anxious to see how this works. He might be very unusual revelations showing us for milleniums we have been mistaken.
And we all wonder why nobody gives a schiff if Niggahs kill each other.
