POLICE REFUSE To Respond: Mental Health Crisis CHAOS As Knife-Wielding Man WALKS FREE

from News For Reasonable People · host Sean Reynolds

Portland police let a knife-wielding maniac run free for THREE DAYS while local businesses lost money and residents fled in terror. Yet another example of absurd 'de-escalation' policies where a man who pepper-sprayed officers and lunged with a knife was deemed 'not a threat to the public.' This video breaks down how police departments nationwide are now refusing mental health calls, creating a dangerous public safety vacuum that affects everyday citizens. When cops won't respond and social workers can't handle violent situations, who exactly is protecting our communities? Is this hands-off approach what taxpayers are funding with their hard-earned money?
