We must not look away. And we must not shrink from the need for justice for Keenan Anderson. Police must never respond with such force to a potential mental health crisis. Resources and care are the answer. Accountability must be transparent and swift.

We just played this entire thing on the show and it is some of the most enraging footage I've seen in a while. Watch it and understand who Ron DeSantis is.
Tampa police carrying out the first arrests of Gov. Ron DeSantis’ new election security force were surprised and almost sympathetic. “I’ve never seen these charges before in my entire life,” one officer said. trib.al/oJIDNog

That we turned mental illness into a crime is what's criminal.
On any given day in the U.S., far more people with serious mental health needs are in jail than in mental health facilities, according to @TreatmentAdvCtr. pew.org/3qP2u6b

Employees of Centurion, Arizona's prison health care contractor, approved the use of pepper spray on a seriously mentally ill patient and encouraged a prisoner to commit acts of self-harm teapawt.net/JimmyJenkins/status/14…
Replying to @JimmyJenkins
Emails between prison administrators show they discovered "the Regional Director of Mental Health basically said to continue using OC spray" on a seriously mentally ill patient and a "mental health RN was encouraging the inmate to bang his head"

Great news from @CMSGov today, awarding $15 million in planning grants to twenty states to support expanding mobile crisis intervention services. Mobile crisis teams are a key piece of the puzzle as communities reimagine their response to mental health & suicidal crises.
CMS awarded $15 million in grants to 20 states to help better provide community-based mobile crisis intervention services, helping individuals on Medicaid experiencing a substance use related or mental health crisis outside a hospital or facility setting. cms.gov/newsroom/press-relea…

A must read if you are sick and tired of seeing or reading about homeless, clearly psychotic men and women sleeping on the streets or foraging in garbage cans. A law hindering treatment for severe mental illness must be repealed thehill.com/opinion/healthca…
