To the person who wrote, "you don't care about Natasha McKenna either, you're just trying to use it as a campaign tool" I would point out that the challenger in this election, Wolfe was in favor of CIT BEFORE the last election. The incumbent (on whose watch McKenna died) was openly against more training for her staff.
So it seems patently obvious that the McKenna death simply proved who was right and who was wrong. Now the public has a chance to throw out the person who opposed training to help folks better interact with those suffering from mental illness.
I am not going to help re-elect the person who chose so 'poorly'
For some folks facts and truth won't matter, but for the rest consider this article.. (snip):
"During his 2013 run against Kincaid, Wolfe made his Crisis Intervention Team training proposal dealing with the mentally ill the centerpiece of his campaign.
“It’s something everybody else in law enforcement believes in,” Wolfe said during a 2013 debate. “I don’t know why the Fairfax County Sheriff is so opposed to it.”
Kincaid dismissed Wolfe’s proposal as unnecessary."
