Is it possible, that we live in a society where Police Departments put more resources, time, and energy into saving wild animals than they put into saving human beings? Do we really live in a time where law enforcement will take more time to deescalate an issue through animal wildlife than they will for a human with a mental health condition? Unfortunately, YES! Yes, we do!!!
