My schizophrenic brother just tore our house apart and police laughed at me and said they couldn’t do anything about it. My other brother is dead. Merry Christmas yik yak! Hold your loved ones tight.

Very sorry. I grew up with a brother who needed severe mental help and still does, every gathering there’s always something

What do you want them to do, shoot him?? They’re not equipped to handle mental health unless someone’s being violent.

wtf? I never ever laughed. This wasn’t meant as a joke - my uncle is a cop. He’s right here next to me bc Christmas. This was predominately his response because I read it aloud to him. The only person who saw that with humor is you, weirdo. What DO you want a cop to do when they only have guns and tasers, not 7+ years of schooling??

the person in the post said the cops laughed at them bro, use context clues 😭😭 I can’t believe I have to clarify this, the convo isn’t about your uncle

People, even cops, mock the idea of a social worker coming out for mental health reasons, and when it’s violent, I get that, but when it’s a situation where no one is physically being harmed and they can visually assess this person is having a mental breakdown, it’s worth it.

It’s dumb to call the cops on your schizophrenic relative because half the time, they WILL shoot him!

so now your shaming op?? Not everyone knows the ins and outs of how police work they were probably really worried and out of ideas, idk why your defending the cops that OP met in that they were just being mean, like yeah if you as a cop can’t do anything just say you’re sorry, don’t laugh in the face of some who’s going thru something terrible

I wasn’t laughing, I didn’t take this to mean the cop was LITERALLLY laughing (people use “laughing” when someone responds less than helpfully, too). If he laughed, he’s a dick, no question, but don’t put words in my mouth.

he was literally giggling at me because i guess i didn’t understand how the process works which was just completely unprofessional. we have called previously for other violent incidents to no avail. we’re just trying to get him involuntarily committed because he refuses to seek help and is a threat to our family.
