Very striking examples of how broken our system is for dealing with the mentally ill. If only we had a truly effective government that could develop ways to humanely treat people like without taking the civil rights of the rest of us.

It is not the federal government’s job to take care of mentally ill people. It’s a state, county or city responsibility, if any level of gov is to be involved at all. It’s a medical problem. The government, especially fedgov, is not supposed to be managing health or medical issues at all. People are so accustomed to a wildly out of control unconstitutional fedgov that many have forgotten what few duties and responsibilities the Constitution actually mandates for the fedgov.
Hardly any, actually.
