They still have them State hospitals. Texas does anyway. Trouble is, they have revolving doors these days. But it takes a judicial decree or voluntary commitment. And they can not force you to take meds.
You do NOT want it like it used to be where a single psychologist could get you committed on their word at the request of someone that wanted you out of the way.

Even better, get rid of all the useless twits that keep enacting more laws that can’t (won’t) be policed or enforced!
Police departments don't go knocking on Uncle Sam's door asking for MRAPs. The federal government offers them (and much, much more) to local PDs as a way to get rid of them but not let them get in the hands of Johnny Punchclock. If anything, surplus equipment should be sold to the public, repurposed within the military, or dismantled and their parts re-used. I do not agree with the police having military vehicles.The movement towards municipal police forces started in the last half of the 20th century and it's lead to the militarization of the police. That's a bad thing. Police forces do not need APCs and fucking tanks but they have them.
THEY DON'T NEED TANKS & MILATARY EQUIMENTSo with all the calls from the left to de-fund/dismantle the police departments across America
I hope I know the answer to this but does anyone actually think removing police is a good idea ?

Welcome to the forum!THEY DON'T NEED TANKS & MILATARY EQUIMENT
If you were trying to control a mob throwing brick, rocks, and whatever else they could find you would appreciate a little steel over your pointy head.
I wonder how many issues would be resolved if specific aspects of the PoPo wasn’t used as revenue-generators?
You mean like the cops arresting that guy in NYC for selling looses. Whatever that is.

Agreed. Police militarization makes perfect sense if you expect them to go into crack houses and face down a mob of drug dealers with FA weapons. Funny how nobody is concerned with the lives of police officers and their spouses and children. Remember the North Hollywood shootout? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Hollywood_shootout Maybe most on this board are too young, but lunatics like that are why the movement to properly arm the police got the political will needed.
If you're happy sending in social workers to apologize to the drug dealers / bank robbers / murderers / rapists and offer them a hug, then I guess you would believe the police don't need any special equipment. But I'd like to ask anyone who is happy sending in those social workers -- what is your plan when those social workers start dying in droves, and you get sued by their families for millions of dollars?
Post #66What scares the shit out of me , what do you replace the police with, some private goon squad.
