Well, Hizzhonor strikes again. In late January, two MoS were summoned to a house with EMS for an EDP (Emotionally Disturbed Person). The Officers responded, went into the house. The subject picked up the knife and walked towards the officer. Despite giving clear, and direct orders and backing away from the subject, the officers fired upon the subject. Fortunately, the person lived. And this week Mayor Mamdani visited the person who brandished the knife! He reiterated the need for social workers responding to these scenes!
This Mayor is an idiot! Even Stevie Wonder sees that you can’t have civilians deal with EDP’s! They never learn! The Mayor wants to spend $1 billion on this program despite the city having a $12 billion debt! The bulk of that money will go for Workers’ Comp claims that the City will endure!
