The thing is, it's asanine to lump ALL mental patients into one big pile and say "They have a condition, you can't touch them." I mean, there is no more truthful statement than 'people are different.' 5150's are no exception. There are dangerous ones, and docile ones. High-strung ones and low-key ones. To simply put them all above (or otherwise beyond the reach of) the law is a disservice to the sane and rational folks of the world, which constitute the majority.
It sad that these people have such conditions, but when they PROVE time and time again that this condition CAUSES them to be a danger to society at large, something needs to be done. To simply take a dangerous person from a scene and let them go, just to do it again but worse, is beyond my comprehention. Laws or no laws, convnient or not.
I realize that laws to the contrary are on the books, just stating my opinion.
