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."

Definition of Insanity.
Who the Hell is going to apply for one of these positions? Seriously?
“staunch progressive” must be the new way of describing “wild-eyed anarchist”.
Yep- send in civilized, educated people to deal with violent, low IQ, welfare human trash.
Where is my popcorn... 🍿
Wouldn’t want to be a social worker in Chicago.
OMG! I think he might be worse than Lori. Keep it up, Chicago, and you’ll be living in a ghost town.
This is why blax will never grow up, and this is why in any city with large numbers of blax, crime will escalate.
The problem is crime. To control crime, you have to terrorize criminals.
Rom 13:4: if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil..
Note: the "sword" in that verse is not an ornament. It's an instrument of death. And if Paul had written that in the 21st century? "..for he beareth not his Glock 17 and AR 15 in vain.."
Let's go, Barndon!
Just build a wall. Chicago, Chicago, that toddlin’ town...

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.
This can go on for some time.
That fellow who reports for Fox News, whose brother died in Chicago was heart sick with the results from that election. Many a soul will not see next year because of it.
Those numbers should improve. I say 50% by Thanksgiving.
“And people thought groot was bad?”
Hard to believe but yes he’s even worse.
When I was at GLNTC for bootcamp 1967 we went to chicongo on one liberty. Decided we must have taken the wrong bus and the next liberty we went to Milwaukee. Much better then. Now, probably not.
Chi-Congo is circling the drain, with SF, LA and a few dozen other ‘blue’ cities.
Didn’t the Romans try something like this back in the day? They would send peaceful Christians to clam and appese wild Lions, how did that work out?
The people who fill these jobs will probably never have to do any real work.
Ghost town?
That would only happen if the criminals killed all the decent people, then each other.
Plenty of ghosts after that!
Stellar idea. Send in the hoards of social workers. The world can use less social workers.
