NYPD Systematically Fails NYers In Mental Health Crisis: Suit
| A lawsuit was filed Wednesday challenging the “systematic failure” of the city to respond to New Yorkers having mental health crises. | Justin Baerga’s mother hoped when she called 911 that medics would come help her son through a mental health crisis, but instead police busted into his house, strapped him to a gurney, and took him to a hospital against his will, a new lawsuit contends. | A class action suit filed Wednesday in Manhattan Federal Court Monday accuses the city of a “systematic failure” to provide “safe, appropriate, and immediate” care to New Yorkers in crisis and demands an end to city policy that sends police to their homes, court records show. | “Despite the myriad civil rights violations suffered by those with mental disabilities at the hands of the police, and despite the desperate need for reform, New York City has discriminatorily and unconstitutionally continued to use armed police officers as first responders to mental health crises,” reads the suit. |
NYPD sistemáticamente falla a los neoyorquinos en crisis de salud mental: demanda
In spite of numerous tragedies when police officers are called to attend to suspected mental health crisis in a home, police are still being called to resolve issues that are beyond their expertise. Stop sending trigger happy officers to household disturbances. Police officers are not trained on sensibility to human life. They are only trained to keep themselves alive. They have a soldier mentality. |
A pesar de las numerosas tragedias cuando se llama a los agentes de policía para que atiendan una supuesta crisis de salud mental en un hogar, se sigue llamando a la policía para resolver problemas que escapan a su experiencia. Deje de enviar oficiales con dedos inquietos en el gatillo a los disturbios domésticos. Los agentes de policía no están informados en la sensibilidad hacia la vida humana. Solo están entrenados para mantener su vida propia. Tienen mentalidad de soldado., |
