Imagine your adult child lives with Autism- One day, they have an episode that leads to an altercation. Police are dispatched and arrive with an aggressive stance. Your child responds by yelling and accidentally strikes an officer. They try to run but are shot and killed. https://t.co/oaXnLIZnWV

Without proper training, the system fails us all. Officers need meaningful education so that they understand how to recognize and deescalate agitated people under mental duress. These situations could potentially become violent -or- further traumatize distressed citizens. https://t.co/bPWituu2um

Reimagine that scenario: Your child cannot cooperate with officers due to their mental crisis. An officer recognizes the signs and knows how to diffuse the situation. Your loved one returns home. They are offered resources instead of life-altering (or ending) penalties. https://t.co/uyolfENcCF

Each one of us has the potential to undergo a mental health crisis due to the many stressors we face in our daily lives. The most vulnerable populations (and their caretakers) should feel safe to call upon officers stationed to protect and serve our communities. https://t.co/7sutwXF2Zm

My current program, established in WNC, brings officers and patients together to establish relationships outside of escalated situations and create more trust and empathy. This is an attainable public safety goal. We MUST strive to do better, not accept the current status quo. https://t.co/JMRqYL2Hcb

The truth is that even police officers suffer from mental health challenges, and through training may be encouraged to seek treatment themselves. https://t.co/WNETRTXFlE

Through additional funding our brave public safety officers can: -Be properly trained ✅ -Be compensated fairly ✅ -Establish better relationships with their community ✅ -Access mental health treatments, without stigma ✅ https://t.co/WLIcztmsqL

My community-oriented policy will help America become safer for all of us. No person in crisis should be left behind out of fear of penalty, stigmatization, or worse. https://t.co/RlTP6OLxUk #PolicinginAmerica #fundthepolice #NC11 #Midtermsmatter #goforBo https://t.co/bxKB91pfJp

With additional funding and training in police departments we can: relieve stress on our officers, improve the conversation around mental health and create more safety in our streets and our homes. (All while saving taxpayers’ money on officer leave and insurance payouts.) https://t.co/AoHFw0vC9x

My policy will create and fund officer training across the nation to deal with mental health crisis interventions in public safety scenarios. We must repair relationships between police officers and communities so our citizens feel safe calling for help when needed.⬇️ https://t.co/JPoXX4jqHQ

Once again, @repmadisoncawthorn proves he sides with authoritarianism as he displays contempt for American values, freedom & democracy. #WNC deserves a genuine, hard-working representative that understands what is truly at stake.

My platform is focused on families' needs, accessibility to quality healthcare, the protection of our rights, and the future of our planet. We must turn #NCBlue and fight unreservedly for what is ethically right.

@ChuckEdwards4NC When they can’t cheat they start throwing a fit and whining. Buck up bro! Stop your whining. Do the hard work and win and election the good ol’ fashioned way. See you on the trail! Bo
