Mental health crises shouldn't end in arrests. 🚨Hear the truth from a former police officer: 24/7 non-police crisis response teams should exist citywide, not one-hour training sessions for law enforcement. It's time to connect people to CARE, not cuffs. Link in bio. @cril-nyulaw.bsky.social

“Basically, it’s a systemic movement of resources away from preventing tragedy to requiring tragedy,” Clark said. “It’s the same population. It’s the same people. It’s just where are we going to serve them: Before they’ve been criminalized or after they’ve been criminalized?”
