To: I still care

The old saying, call 911 and die is true in more than one way. Someone called in good faith to get help for this woman. The responders bring guns and itchy trigger fingers.

Far too many folks ending up dead, blamed on suicide by cop.

To: The Magical Mischief Tour

I called the cops years ago for help in getting my extremely mentally ill husband to the hospital, and ended up having to get him out of jail, by hiring a lawyer I couldn’t afford.

That morning I got him to the hospital, and he ended up in there for almost three months - the arrest and lack of meds during jail caused a lot more damage,

It also set social services loose on me (the kids)

This was a problem the family and his doctors were handling, and then the government stepped in. They handled it with all the aplomb, deftness and ability they are noted for. Ha.

The lawyer told me after NEVER call 911 if you need an ambulance again.
