To the Editor:
I just saw in your news that Jason John Dacci was arrested. Instead of being arrested, he should have been hospitalized. Schizophrenia is a no-fault brain disease.
Many police are now trained in Crisis Intervention Training (CIT). The ill man should not have been arrested. That is like arresting someone because they have heart disease or diabetes. Please see www.NAMI.org.
