Arrested because of a failed attempt? That guy needs help, not prison.
And people wonder why Mamdani advocates for mental health workers instead of police
Yes. Because they a lot of ppl who needs it. Nobody realizes who needs it or not. I suffer from depression. I always pount out to ppl when they are depressed. They will yell say no I'm not. Then they go speak to a therapist and they realize they are depress and need some help.
Charges instead of mental help???? Got it
Why are they punishing him and throwing all these made up charges on him? He needs help, not punishment
