NYC Mayor Calls For Involuntary Psych Commitments After Fatal Manhattan Stabbings
Briefly

"I've been demonized, actually, when we say that people should not live on the streets. People who need help don't know they need help when they're in that state."
"We have a significant need for a better residential option for people...A place to live where they are going to receive intensive mental health services and actual medical care in that interim period."
"The bill defines a substantial risk of harm as defined by someone's inability to meet their own basic needs for food, clothing, shelter or medical care."
"The city's mental health system needs to be fixed, and that there's not enough support for struggling New Yorkers."
