These were dedicated men and women cops who, by the way, had medical practitioners with them when they took care of the emotionally disturbed and the homeless in the subways and the streets. They [the Homeless Outreach Unit] were disbanded when Bill de Blasio and the city council danced the tarantella by pulling a billion dollars out of the budget in the summer of 2020. It worked then. It'll work again. You never invent anything like Zohar Mandami he was talking about. Oh, well, Eugene, Oregon has this great plan for the emotionally deceptive. (04:38–18:40)
