Is there another '1st World' country, where our darkskin-Black friends get arrested for having mental health crises?

[BPPLEE]

I thought this type of talk was prohibited??

But don't worry, I'm not a sensitive little whiner so I won't be reporting it...

Report whatever you want

 

[BPPLEE]

Yes, that is what you focused on --to try to give the appearance that there are no laws to exclude a police presence in these mental health scenarios.

That’s not what it says at all. I was explaining why the police had to make an arrest in that situation. I have to agree with @ThatRobGuy that English must not be your first language based on these posts

Apology for what? You cited a bill that never passed. The only thing I got wrong was that I thought it was a Pennsylvania state bill at first glance but I have edited my posts to correct the mistake and noted it.
And @Hans Blaster was right, it’s not my responsibility to find proof of your claims

You mean, you pretended that there were no reasons to learn if there were other laws on the books.

Since You didn't tell me to post that link. Then do you get to treat me like there are no other laws, just because I didn't post them?? No! Unless, I said that that unwashed bill is the only law or only effort to get a law passed.

.What???
As far as the OP and your claims No, Michigan does not have a statewide law that mandates replacing police officers with mental health professionals for certain calls. Crisis response remains primarily handled by law enforcement, often supplemented by partnerships with mental health providers.

Please go away with your antagonism. You were never interested in communicating with me, on topic, until you hallucinated a gotcha moment.

Learn how arguments work. You bring da claim, you gotta bring da facts.

My Google link that you quoted, features laws. That is what's important here.

Do we look dumb enough to click on a search link with someone else's tracking data embedded in it?

You can agree with whoever you want, thats your foolhardiness not mine. But it won't change how there are laws which you or That Rob Guy have to live with. Face this!

Do you look dumb enough to be wrong? Then not care that you are wrong?!!! That Google link possesses the answer.

Well, then you should have nothing to say about if laws exist. Once you concoct reasons to not go learn that you were flagrant for challenging me.

And remember too, if you and @BPPLEE find tomorrow that you completed yall's objective to start up enough nonsense in here for Admin to close this thread? It won't change how THE. LAWS. STILL. EXIST! And there's nothing you can do to dispute that.

But you ignore how I merely repeated the words of your co-pilot when I responded to his cockpit of ANTAGONISM?

They don’t exist in Michigan which is where the incident took place and Moore’s race had nothing to do with the incident being handled by law enforcement officers instead of mental health professionals. The laws you keep speaking of don’t exist in Michigan

I talked about NOT reporting you.
No need for you to be dishonest here.

I think you will find that @Hans Blaster and I don’t agree on much but he does know how to have a conversation

Okay but you implied that I did something that could be reported. I was in the process of editing that post when you quoted it. I made sure I only mentioned your post when I corrected it

Yep. More proof that... Someone here is once again 'bragging about' being wrong.

That never happens to people who know how to have a conversation.

No, Michigan does not have statewide laws that require replacing police officers with mental health professionals on certain calls. Instead, the state emphasizes collaborative approaches, training for law enforcement, and expanding crisis services that often involve police alongside or in coordination with mental health experts.Key Programs and ApproachesMichigan's system focuses on these models:

• Crisis Intervention Teams (CIT) — Widely implemented across the state (e.g., in Detroit Wayne, Oakland County). Specially trained police officers respond to mental health crises, with the goal of de-escalation and diversion to treatment rather than arrest. This is a police-led model, not a replacement.
• Co-Responder Programs — Growing in localities like Birmingham, Troy, Alma, and others. Mental health professionals (e.g., clinicians or social workers) ride along with or respond jointly with police officers to behavioral health calls. Police remain involved for safety, while professionals handle assessment and de-escalation.
• Mobile Crisis Teams — Supported statewide through the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) and the 988/Michigan Crisis and Access Line (MiCAL). These teams of behavioral health professionals provide on-site intervention. They can be dispatched independently for non-violent crises, offering an alternative to police response in appropriate cases. Availability varies by county, and they coordinate with 911/988 rather than fully replacing police dispatch protocols.
• Emerging Unarmed/Alternative Response Pilots — Some local initiatives, such as Ann Arbor's planned Supportive Connections Program (SPROUT, expected 2026), aim to dispatch unarmed clinician teams independently for non-violent mental health crises, wellness checks, and similar calls. These are local programs, not mandated by state law.

State efforts (via MDHHS, the Mental Health Diversion Council, and funding for 988/mobile crisis/crisis stabilization units) prioritize improving access to behavioral health crisis services, reducing jail diversions, and training first responders. However, there is no statewide mandate requiring police to be replaced by mental health professionals on specific call types. Responses are triaged based on risk (e.g., violence potential triggers police involvement), and programs like CIT and co-responders integrate rather than supplant law enforcement.
