Is There a Difference Between Policing and Mental Health Resources?

i feel late in when, especially am asian women, people who experience like, various forms of sexual violence or a street harassment, am that sense of unsafety is amplified. i think it's understandable why people want to grasp for any kind of solution and also why that kind of trama can be weaponized  and taken advantage of immediately. And the other argument is that, like, mental health resources is an alternative to policing. Even though policing and mental health systems are very, very, very connected.
