Let's start a charity where we hire former emergency medical service responders to be the unarmed deescalation experts many people really want to have when they call the police.

Very good idea. Not only for the US. I know it's worse there, but also the German cops shoot way too often when they are called on someone with a psychotic breakdown.
It's really sad, because I can understand that people don't know who to call when somebody threatens to harm themselves or is absolutely uncontainable...
