After weeks of nationwide protests calling for police reform, Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller announced the city is creating an alternative department to respond to non-violent calls, like those dealing with mental health and homelessness.
Keller said this first-of-its-kind program is a unique solution to a number of challenges the Albuquerque Police Department is facing.
Obviously, it's not a solution to all systemic issues, but it's plainly better than sending guys with guns to murder homeless people sleeping at a bus stop or a drunk man sleeping it off in his car.
