Mental Health Foundation warning about ARTs

From The Panel, 4:45 pm on 15 November 2019

The Mental Health foundation says that the call to bring in Armed Response teams to parts of the country as part of a 6 month trial to cut down response times to serious incidents involving fire-arms sounds very similar to the taser introduction a decade ago, when similar warnings were made.

Robinson also says that because Maori and Pacific people have higher rates of mental illness, they'll be shot more often.
