This is precisely where you could involve the creation of true civilian oversight, so that it's not the police making this decision. It is a paramilitary organization that is going to go in a paramilitary direction. On the Paquet death in Toronto, Chief Saunders specifically said that he was not going to send in the mobile crisis team when the situation was tricky. In fact, it's the opposite. We need them to do that. You need civilian oversight to force these issues. Don't leave this up to the police. They're not going to change on their own.
