Closing mental hospitals was one of the biggest mistakes we’ve ever made

Never forget that from 1960-1980 we closed virtually all of our mental hospitals in favor of "community care". 25-50% of the homeless population in a given city has psychiatric disability. We have forced police, prisons and nursing homes to be out mental health services. Shame.

This officer is a rockstar. Definitely the patience of a saint.

LOL Your under arrest, lady is like "Why?" State trooper: "I don't know" LMAO!

She doesn't need jail, she needs a place that can treat her.

When we still had mental hospitals in this country, they could have placed her in a residential facility and gotten her the help she needs. Instead, people like Melissa end up getting arrested over and over again for causing a disturbance. That ties up our police officers and our court systems with hundreds, if not thousands, of nuisance cases every day. She really doesn’t belong in jail but there’s no other place to take her.

So sad ! Mental illness is horrible

"The turtles want to be left alone." had me laugh out loud. The fact that this woman is in desperate need of mental health care is sad. If only mental health was as "main stream" as cancer people like this would get all the help they need. As a person who has struggled with severe depression, panic and anxiety for almost 30 yrs, getting help especially with no insurance is a major struggle. We're dispensable. Thank you Officers for your patience with this lady. ❤

There’s no place for these poor humans to go any longer. We need good, well run, psychiatric hospitals.

As a daddy of a wonderful little girl with autism, these types of situations scare the hell out of me. What's going to happen when I'm gone from this world? This lady needs someone to help her. Absolutely heartbreaking.

This was a difficult watch. My brother has schizophrenia and mental illnesses are no joke. Had me sad through the whole video, I really feel for this lady😢 Hope she receives all the help possible.

I used to live a transient lifestyle back in my 20's and hitch hiked around for a while and I ran into so many folks like this lady. I always did everything I could to help them when I was able to, but a majority of the homeless population suffers from severe mental illness like this because their families weren't able to help them and shut them out. It truly is heartbreaking and effects so many people and is one of the most overlooked issues in our country. Most of these people aren't able to function normally and society seems to hold that against them the most, because if it was otherwise, they wouldn't be homeless. Instead we praise wealth and measure our successes by our short-sighted gains and tell ourselves that we're that much better than those people and that we could never be in their situation because we have everything figured out. To be sound of mind is a privilege that many take for granted without realizing it until we witness someone who isn't. And only then are we humbled enough to appreciate our own sanity.

Honestly I feel sorry for this woman, she doesn't need jail she needs a mental institution. She's not like these people that you see get arrested because they think they're entitled, this woman has mental issues.

I’m a retired RN who’s worked with psych patients. I remember when our local long term mental health facility closed down nearly 2 decades ago. The ER’s, jails and homeless shelters were flooded with people who needed care that those facilities weren’t capable of nor staffed for, to handle. The facility that was closed was a locked hospital…BUT it was like a community and so much better for these people. It had a barber shop, a little country store, a small movie theater/screening room, an arcade, a chapel and volunteers from the community would come in and teach classes and art. It wasn’t some dungeon. There were many patients who had been there for a decade or more, bc they simply couldn’t function in the outside world. They couldn’t comply with their treatment or meds. They had to have supervision. Closing that facility hurt so many and our community and many others continue to see the fallout from doing so. It angers me to no end that politicians who have absolutely NO healthcare experience are allowed to make decisions that drastically impact so many. Things will not get better until serious mental healthcare reform is put into place and new facilities are built and opened to assist and house these vulnerable people. It’s so sad.

I feel so bad for this lady, and for the officers who had no choice but to arrest her to protect both her and the public. 😢

“Turtle king” took me out but “Mirror mirror on the wall who’s the fairest of them all” DID IT FOR ME!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I hope she gets the help she needs. Kudos to the officer for her extreme professionalism and compassion.

I swear it’s like arguing with a 2 year old. Question after question with her. She needs to be in a home where they can monitor her. Jail is not the place for her. She has major mental health issues.

She’s exhausting 😥
