Town of 170,000 replaced some cops with medics and mental health workers. It's worked for over 30 years. Yeah, about that
Around 30 years ago, a town in Oregon retrofitted an old van, staffed it with young medics and mental health counselors and sent them out to respond to the kinds of 911 calls that wouldn't necessarily require police intervention.

In the town of 172,000, they were the first responders for mental health crises, homelessness, substance abuse, threats of suicide -- the problems for which there are no easy fixes. The problems that, in the hands of police, have often turned violent.
Today, the program, called CAHOOTS, has three vans, more than double the number of staffers and the attention of a country in crisis.
CAHOOTS is already doing what police reform advocates say is necessary to fundamentally change the US criminal justice system -- pass off some responsibilities to unarmed civilians.
Cities much larger and more diverse than Eugene have asked CAHOOTS staff to help them build their own version of the program. CAHOOTS wouldn't work everywhere, at least not in the form it exists in in Eugene.

With a crime rate of 36 per one thousand residents, Eugene has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 28.

I'm guessing CNN isn't delving to much into the actual numbers for crime in this Utopian city they seem to love so much.

 Quoting: Grove Street


In Eugene 84.54% of the population is White
In Eugene 1.87% of the population is Black
In Eugene 4.29% of the population is Asian

It's not always about race. They want to do this in every city in the country. Image what that looks like in Baltimore, LA, Minneapolis.

So, we know that there certain areas where one race is there and they also happen to be extremely violent. Now imagine replacing the cops there with these Cahoot people. How quickly would it devolve into total anarchy and chaos? I say a week.

It's more about CULTURE.

Of course the functionality and genetically deficient cannot understand or adhere to higher enlightened cultural standards and Inevitably participate in corrupt, criminal imaginary culture as predators.
They're simply not capable of being domesticated.
