There is a lot of 'unicorns and rainbows' thinking going around.

Most if not all defund the police threads have said police would not respond to non-violent calls. Several have specifically stated domestic calls should not have a police response as that tends to escalate the problem.

Kudos for being a social worker. My wife studied for two years towards a social work degree. As she learned what the job was really like, she decided it was not for her. She gets too involved personally.
