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."

I’d settle for head shots. Either one.
HEY !!! People in Chicago !!!!
Run for your lives !!!
Its going to get worse !!!
Let them wallow in their $%^t! Good people should stay out of Chi-Town.
They’re going to send young people to deal with deadly confrontations?
In Chicago, SWAT now stands for Social Workers and Therapists.
I can see social workers getting VERY enthused about responding to violent, mentally-disturbed criminals on the street. Not.
Grab your popcorn.
Good show! I’m stealing that.
My sister ran recruits up at Great Lakes in the late 80’s - early 90’s. She retired out as an ETCS(SW)
😂👍
When seconds count, social workers are weeks away.
Liberals are so naive it’s unbelievable.
I left in 1971 as a Damage Control PO2...Thank her for her service...It’s always good to hear of veterans...
To try to calm a meth crazed raving lunatic thug, bring some of these.

But be prepared to duck and run away if you can.

> Who the Hell is going to apply for one of these positions? Seriously? <
Starry-eyed dreamer types with degrees in modern social work. And when they are brutalized to the point of quitting, they will be replaced by other starry-eyed dreamer types with degrees in modern social work.

Or, as liberal leaders call them, “cannon fodder.”
“these individuals would show up to calls that require those type of interventions.”
It’s a good thing that 911 operators are always able to determine exactly what is going on with every 911 call so they’ll know to send the right people. This sounds like a fool proof plan.
Here’s a plausible scenario:
-Hire more social workers
-Arm them
-Turn them against THE REST OF US
I know that sounds a little paranoid, but hey, it’s the world we live in…
It’s going to be a long summer.
