I was at a job last week where someone the same age as me was sectioned after trying to commit suicide. When I was speaking to them on the hospital guard I actually felt very bad for them, as they had their life put together and were trying to get help but the MH services kept failing them.

I left once the hospital guard was handed over, but I keep thinking of how she's doing and if she got the right support. I've been thinking about it even more after hearing that someone was hit by a train near to where she lives.

Is it normal to take jobs home with you, and does anyone have advice on how to stop thinking about it all the time? Thanks.

They fail to investigate crimes, ignore plenty of crimes so certain offences like shoplifting are pretty much decriminalised.

They have no powers for things like oversees fraud.

They won't bother investigating burglaries.

They're a glorified social care service, so when you put it like that it seems like a damning waste of taxpayer money.

I'd personally propose defunding the police since they're largely ineffective and expensive organisation.

I would propose having far less officers but creating a taskforce that specifically deals with visual crimes like violent crime.
