Regarding mental health policy.
I know many states barely have mental health services, I am so fortunate to live in Maryland regarding things like this.

However they have to do something about cops with bigotry and hostility twords mental health survivors in need.

I hate going to the hospital it's bad enough,but to deal with cops who have bigoted mentalities make it sucks worse than it has to,in a crisis. Some psych units are fucked up and some are downright dangerous others are staffed with good people. And if you get admitted you spin the roulette wheel as to what psych unit /hospital you wind up in. That too adds to the fear and stress.

There's alot of work that still needs to be done and this step is positive.
