The left is insane.

Yes, I know we’ve all said it before – we’ve called liberalism a “mental disorder” and all that jazz, but no, seriously, they’re BAT SH*T CRAZY.

That’s the only conclusion we can come to after hearing about this story –  it’s a doozy, so I hope you’re reading this sitting down.

It turns out that the INSANE city of Albuquerque, New Mexico has now begun the process of replacing police officers with unarmed social workers.

Yes, because when a serial killer is trying to wear your skin, there’s nothing you want to see more than a social worker at your door.

Good lord…

Unarmed social workers in Albuquerque, New Mexico, will now respond to specific 911 calls instead of the police department, the city’s mayor announced Monday.

Democratic Mayor Tim Keller announced the creation of Albuquerque Community Safety, which will serve alongside the Albuquerque Police Department and Albuquerque Fire Department, as a “first-of-its-kind” department to respond to calls on inebriation, homelessness, addiction and mental health.

“The department will give 9-1-1 dispatch an option when a community safety response is more appropriate than a paramedic, fire-fighter, or armed police officer,” according to the city’s media release.

“For years, we’ve heard the public calling for a better solution for de-escalation and more officers for community policing, and we have been listening.

“It’s time we stop asking officers to do everything, and time we get people the help they need instead of sending armed officers to knock on their door.”

Look, I am all for training cops to be better community ambassadors and whatnot, but replacing armed police officers with social workers is not the answer.

How can this even be real?

Why not have the social workers TRAIN the police officers on how to better de-escalate a situation? Wouldn’t that make more sense?

I can see a million different ways this. could go completely wrong – not only for the 911 caller but for the social worker as well.
