Nonsense. The problem is rooted in federal laws and federal court decisions. Anyone who is forced into treatment can sue, and activist legal groups will bring these suits anywhere. No medical facility or police or sheriff's department or city/county/state agency can afford these suits (which they will usually lose) so they refuse to do anything about the "homeless" or any other disruptive/dangerous mentally ill people.

Who is saying anything about treatment?
I am talking about prison.
Where you can force mental health treatment on mentally ill people.
Hence my comment about decriminalization. If you criminalize the behavior and send them to prison, they get treatment one way or another.
Do we have a successful track record of people getting better in prison?
As long as they aren’t on the streets, couldn’t care less. 🤷🏼♂️
