The council president has said that there needs to be a re-think on what “public safety” should be, including who should be the first responders:

Advocates for the "Defund the Police" movement say that first responders to a crime scene should be "mental health providers and social workers." This is like an outlandish satire of liberalism except now it's real life. This is actually what they're promoting. pic.twitter.com/HGXUbpeYXA

Kirstie Alley summed up the madness in one brief hypothetical conversation:
HELP! Murderer’s IN MY HOUSE!
“Please hold for a Psycologist”
