Maybe if there had been a social worker there when they tried to help him earlier he could have been directed towards actual help. It wouldn't have hurt to have one there anyway. The police are not equipped to address people having mental health issues.

They were equipped enough to handle a crazy person with multiple weapons.
It would be far better if they did not have to. The officer was injured here. He could have been injured even worse than he was. For some reason we prefer this over earlier intervention.
The social workers failed.
Thank goodness the police weren't defunded yet.
