We do not contract with Babb's counselor to determine what is a danger to the public, we contract with the police. You are making the case that just because she asked the police to "check in" on Babb that the police were somehow obligated not to see this as a dangerous situation. The Police are expected to protect the residents of this city from crimes, not cowtow to a an unqualified counselor who saw Babb as not being a threat.
