Hours before Albuquerque police detained alleged members of an armed civilian group when a protest erupted in gunfire Monday, the mayor of New Mexico's largest city announced that unarmed social workers – not officers – would now respond to certain 911 calls.
The decision came as Black Lives Matter advocates to defund police departments in the wake of the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who died in police custody after Minneapolis officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes on May 25.
Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller announced that the city would create a “first-of-its-kind” cabinet-level department that would respond to calls on inebriation, homelessness, addiction and mental health.

Mayor Tim Keller is a complete disaster. A boy doing a man’s job.
“I can’t imagine they’re going to want to respond to 911 calls on their own.”
The social workers are not going to respond. Clearly, no one has discussed this with the social workers.
Albuquerque?
The should just send the liquor delivery guy.
That should be fun.
Instead of “Cops” they can have “Social Work, Albuquerque”! Thant would be fun to watch....
Send public school teachers...
They’ve definitely made that Left Toin at Albuquoikee!
Many will end up badly hurt or even killed!
“Social Workers Lives Matter”!
how many dead social workers is too many?
I foresee the social workers having enough common sense not to go to domestic disputes unless the cops have sufficient force to subdue the enraged.
Or the city will end up with a few dead social workers, thus permitting promotions in that department.
“All 911 calls are potentially dangerous. Cops know that.”
Oh come on. The social workers can handle minor things like someone asleep in the drive through and things like that.
Is Albuquerque a dump?
Like watching a trainwreck in slow motion
I wonder how many of these “social workers” will be SEXUALLY ATTACKED, viciously BEATEN, SHOT & MURDERED by violent people at 911 response sites that they go to.
MANY is my guess.
Yours, TMN78247
I can’t wait to see these soft liberal snowflakes deal with a strung out junkie, a violent drunk or an angry homeless person.
Won’t last a week.

“ It’s actually half-right. Sending someone along to attempt to de-escalate the situation might work, but I’d send cops with them in case things got dicey.”

The dicey part starts when the door opens ....
Someone smart will take out life insurance on them.
