This is why I tend to favor removing the responsibility for mental health crises from the police and giving it to a separate organization or agency. When people who are in a mental state that places themselves or others in danger, the focus should be on putting them in an environment where they are safe and can get whatever medical/psychological support they need. Obviously, there would need to be some coordination between systems.Vēritās wrote: ↑Mon Dec 19, 2022 5:53 pmI never used that terminology (drug-induced psychosis) with the cops, I merely told them she was suffering from negative effects of chemo drugs she had been taking for months and I ALSO told them that she has to take her meds to even everything out. When they first gave her steroids in the hospital it drove her nuts, but they had to balance that out with some other drug called Buspirone.Dr. Shades wrote: ↑Mon Dec 19, 2022 8:05 amYou told us that you explained to them that she was under the influence of a drug-induced psychosis. Psychotic people can do great damage with guns, knives, or what have you hours later when the victim has gone to sleep. Not only that, but you explained that she was actively operating a motor vehicle while in that state, thus endangering both herself and anyone else on the road.
Apparently you think she was better served being locked in a cell where her necessary prescription drugs would be denied, as opposed to going back home in my care where she would just go straight to sleep after taking her meds. Apparently this is the kind of desperate mental gymnastics you're willing to entertain in order to back the blue at all costs, no matter what the circumstances.
Veritas, did a judge order her to stay out of the home? If not, how did that happen?
