How very British. It's a nobal idea, for the parts of the world where calling emergency services is useful. where there even are emergency services, where emergency services aren't the police coming to shoot your autistic brother or black friend. as the article points out, the problems at this scale are psychological, and I don't know that we're still able to deal with that kind of problem given how we handled covid.

Ah, yes. Let the perfect be the enemy of the good, or the better. Let imperfection stand in the way of improving things in any way, because someone (in a blatantly virtue signal-y way) brought up a hot button issue: police brutality.

I’m really not sure what your comment stands to add, beyond useless whataboutism.

ah yes, virtue signaling. I'm sorry you live in a world of liars and pretenders and no one is ever genuine. sounds kinda terrible there.
