Every incident of police brutality is a tragedy. But the causes of police misconduct is not only due to the personal moral failings of a few officers. Cities everywhere are increasingly asking police to respond to calls they were not designed to respond to. Police today respond to significant numbers of mental health and social disorder calls. This places police in difficult situations where the cost of a mistake is high. We need a new social-service first responder who can respond to low priority social disorder and mental health calls.
