Anti-Police activists have long called for social workers to respond to domestic calls rather than Police. There's just one problem... those are the most unpredictable and violent calls Law Enforcement typically respond to.
A recent slaying of a Pennsylvania Police Officer makes this point abundantly clear.
Lebanon City Police Lt. William Lebo and three fellow Officers entered a home after responding to a domestic disturbance. They were met with immediate gunfire from the suspect, Travis Shaud.
Officers returned fire but unfortunately, three of the four went down. The suspect was killed at the scene.
Two of the officers remain in the hospital and are being treated for their wounds. Officer Lebo, a 40-year veteran of the department and exactly one month from retirement, was slain.
It is hard to imagine how this situation could have gotten worse. However, if unarmed social workers had responded to the call instead of Police, there likely would have been more bodies in the aftermath.
The call for replacing Law Enforcement with unarmed social workers is absolutely ludicrous. It will result in more deaths and more criminals getting away with murder.
Let us know what you think in the comments below.
How damned sad. God bless the officers families.
"Sad" doesn't begin to describe what's presently occurring in our once greatest of all nations. We now cannot/do not have long to live . . .
Don't give up the ghost just yet my friend! We Conserrvative elements of our society are coming back to town real soon!
I hear you, but do you really think we can last until November? I have my doughs.
I agree if we keep moving into the current socialist regime, turning from God, abnormal sex and hate toward others he will end it soon. We need to praise God, repent of our sins, believe in God, ask for forgiveness and start acting like Christian’s before it is too late.

Thank the democrats for this.
The problem is the left.....Nancy and her bunch think the police are the bad guys, the Biden Administration is a joke, he has been in office little over a year, and has sent us back to the Stone age. All the country's think America is a joke. His mind is gone, and if you think Harris any better everything she does is a disaster. So what to do vote these a..holes out of office. That's the only way to stop this madness. I fought for this beautiful country. And to see it like this breaks my heart. Please don't give up vote the Democrats out of office a chimp can run this country better right now vote for America.
Who ever thought of sending social workers for these situations must be totally out of their minds.
a BAR TENDER WHO THE PEOPLE OF NEW YORK PUT IN OFFICE IS THE ONE WHO HAD THIS STUPID IDEA OF SENDING SOCIAL WORKERS IN TO DO THE JOB OF THE POLICE.. AOC SHOULD BE TRIED FOR MURDER OF THESE OFFICERS BECAUSE SHE IS THE ONE WHO KEEPS PUSHING FOR DEFUND THE POLICE. SOMEONE HAS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALL THE POLICE WHO HAVE BEEN KILLED FOR DOING THEIR JOBS. IT IS A SAD DAY WHEN WE HAVE A CONGRESS WHO SITS ON THEIR HANDS ALL DAY AND WON'T HOLD THIS PRESIDENT ACCOUNTABLE AND LETS HIM DO WHAT EVER HE WANTS WITHOUT GOING THOUGH CONGRESS FOR THEIR APPROVAL FIRST. ALSO THE SUPREME COURT WHO ARE BOUGHT OFF BY THE DEMOCRATS TO VOTE IN THEIR FAVOR. THE ONLY WAY TO TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK IS TO VOTE THESE SCUM OUT OF OFFICE. COME 2024 WE MAY NOT HAVE A COUNTRY LEFT.
Excellent post, Donna Marie!
Yes Donna it is tragic for the officer who lost their life and it is not feasible to send a social worker out on violent calls like these but holding congress responsible is ludicrous! The scum that caused this was done by radical right wing hate for anyone who’s not white! Anyone who believes to judge someone simply based on the color of their skin are the true ignorant ones! And the Supreme Court isn’t being bought by anyone except right wing fundamentalists who believe in treating anyone not white like second class people! Grab your left ear with right hand and right ear with left hand and pull till you hear a pop! Your head is so far up Donald Trumps butt you can’t hear anything but his lying rhetoric!!!
David, You are a racist loss to society. I cannot waste any more time writing to your idiocy.
I agree with you Elinor 1,000 %
You got it backwards: Ir's the LEFT who are racist, big time! Got that, genius!
So that's why the KKK and other fascist groups grew during Trump's administration. Got it.
What does the right wing, alleged racists, have to do with the killing of Lt. Lebo? You should listen to yourself and see who the real racist is! You are a MORON!
I disagree with your appraisal of President Trump. You Sir are part of this sloppy mess. President Trump has been out of office for over a year. Mr. Biden and his solacious ilk are profoundly responsible for a plethora of crimes starting with treason!
Enjoy your new religion: Trumpism. Just as false and dangerous as Christianity and all the other cults that are destroying the world.
I am faily certain that you are a "Never Trumper". I was actually refering to someone like Florida's Governor, or Texas's Governor to pick up the mantle from where President Trump left off. Conservatism is the thorn in the left's sole, and will be the winner in the 2022 Midterms. Do not give up your day job.
I agree with you.We need to get rid of the squad a terriost group in our government. They have nothing good to say about our country so let's get them the hell out of America and send them back to their countries.Oh Omar will probably be killed for her adultery, besides entering our country illegally and more.Of course they want to overflow our country and President Biden should be impeached for allowing illegals into our country when we can't even take care of our own people. who knows what diseases will be brought into our country.I am for immigration as long as it is legal.
You and about 78 to 100 million Americans feel the same way. 2022 Midterms will be the start to a better 2024!
Well spoken. What we really need is an uprising from all the patriots to take back our country and try all these scumbag politicians for treason. The message will get out there and maybe we can heal and restore our country to what is used to be. Start getting large crowds to surround the politicians' homes and let them know how we feel. No violence, no threats, no damaging property. Just let them know you are watching them. Let's Go Brandon!!!!!
Why not send the people who want to send social workers be sent themselves, they could show how it is done. Think think they want to go? Me either.
My prayers go out to these officers and families. We need them terribly and I pray for their safety continuously.
I quite agree with the point of view that ungodly left wing in this country are responsible for the death of these and other police officers. Defunding the police is the worst idea the liberals have ever had. My heart and prayers go out to the families of these police officers. We need now in this country to return to an eye for an eye.
In this country, we don't adhere to the rantings of the Bible. And that's a good thing. Trump is the single most dangerous criminal that the United States has ever produced. The fact that a sizable minority of people refuse to acknowledge this doesn't give me much hope for the future.
Maybe they should sent those idiots who think sending in an unarmed social worker and see if they come out alive. The democrats/socialist and completely out of touch with reality. Morons!
How sad and our prayers for the officers and their families.
How long before democrats.demand charges.filed against officers and money to the scumbag loses who shot the officers.
This country needs to get back to what made us the greatest country in the world. SUPPORT ARE MEN AND WOMEN IN BLUE!!!!!
The DNC supports the the one that has the gun. To the DNC Law and Order has no meaning.
Put this woke administration to sleep and get a real government. This whole bunch of untrained, anti American socialists are a threat to this country.
I don’t think you’d get any social workers to respond to any scene where there is actual live fire . The anti- police activist’s are just running their mouths for attention . When the next live shooter situation arises , the authorities should round up a few activists and send em in and let natural selection run it’s course ! Seeing how these people have to be shown the danger , let them realize it first hand !
Agree , send in the activist that want police defunded and the big mouth politicians !
The 25th amendment has to be applied to get these scum out of office. It is so sad that these officers went dowm because of the scum in office who don't care one bit about the people who pay them to protect the people but only protect themselves. maybe they should have sent in the social workers then maybe the message would get across and our officers would still be alive. God I hate it everytime i read about a police officer being killed because of the lamebrains in office. Who allow the killers to walk free and the innocent get sent to prison. GOD BLESS ALL THESE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN WHO PUT THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE EVERYDAY FOR US.
Demacommies will never learn! Eventually, they will come for you
I say take away the security of those who support defund the police , for those who support open borders in the congress and WH should have to remove any barriers around their houses to prove they feel secure in their decision . Also they need to be limited on how much money they make, that way we would have people in office who actually want to take care of our country, bank transactions should be audited for various reasons like stealing and buying anarchy to win elections. They openly cheat tax payers Congress needs to stop paying illegals to breach the borders and should be held for disregarding our laws and constitution, also those who want social workers for police can take turns on the 911 calls I vote bartender AOC and Nancy go first!
Perfect!!
And I say take away the voting rights to the nut cases that still support Republican fascism--and the former dictator-in-chief.
you are really sick, watch out, bad things are coming your way!!!!!!!!! The devil won't protect you....
I agree. Social workers will be killed or used as hostages and the police will have to come in to clean up the mess. These people calling for this kind of social work just don't understand criminal behavior.
Not police to go in to clean up mess of dead social workers or taken as hostages, send in the Einstein politicians who came up with idea to use social workers to 'defuse' situation.
Anyone who believes socia lworkers can handle these kinds of calls has shit for BRAINS!!!!
This is what these leftist states want more high crime they have no regard for human life, this lawlessness is the Governor and state dumbrorat legislation and mayors of these cities, the only recourse would be for the families of these slain officers is for them to sue the gov, mayor and legislators for under equipping the officers take them the your State Supreme Court they caused this tragedy they need to pay! I’m sorry for your loss but make them pay!! That they’ll understand financial ruin!
That's what "Defund Police" is meant to do: FREE CRIMINAL HUNTING GROUND!
I live in the Lebanon area. That perp should have still been in jail for past serious offenses.
Do the Officers wear bullet proof vests and protective headgear in Domestic violence calls? If not, because these are the most dangerous calls they should wear protective gear. Also, if they need to shoot people shooting at them, they must be protected by the Police Department AND the press. No matter the color of skin of the Police and or the victims. God Bless the families of the Officer murdered and the family.

I Really feel bad for that officers Family.
My heartbreaks for the Officer and family , he had one month until his retirement 😢💔 A piece of Sh*t who should have been in prison had to kill the man . Eye for any eye for him . Thank you officers for your service 💙🙏🏻🖤
As a retired Sgt. of Police, send in the social workers ( LIBERALS ) this way we’ll see how long that agenda would last. It would be just another democratic failed policy. God bless the officers and their families. Also, may God bless Lt. Lebo and let him in thru those pearly white gates. Why did his PD allow this man to go out on daily patrol. He should have been brought in off the street especially with only one month to go. Amen
Nobody with a right mind would send innocent people, unarmed and untrained into a privately controlled environment. That is called "murder"
So when is timid dimwit BiDum and equally dimwits mayors and governors of those toilets city/state going to man up and wipe out criminals they have protected for years??
i thought they would need to see at least one dead social worker before they saw the error in this latest effort to get rid of the police.
Yes, the police should have been called in. Maybe they should have been more hesitant and careful.
Go ahead and let those who are calling for a response by social workers do the responding. I'm sure they will change their tune after the first body count.
Democrats are now repudiating their calls to "Defund the Police." That will surely change after the election. As Nancy D'Alesandro Pelosi said recently to her Democrat caucus, "Say whatever it takes to get elected."
Read my COMPLETE statement before hitting delete. They talk of "defunding " the police. Why don't we just totally get rid of all of them and the court system and the prison system. Within a few days of zero law enforcement, the citizens will have had enough and will take over.(vigilantes) When that happens, the thugs will get killed on the spot. No arrests, no Miranda, no fair trial, no prisons. They will be hauling thugs out of town in dump trucks. It won't take long until they are crying to re-hire the police.
Attacking each other offers no solution to the problem of never ending violent crime. Like most things in life, the 80/20 rule applies to violent crime. 80% of violent crime is committed by 20% of the criminals. If we focus on that 20% by identifying who they are and putting the best available prosecutors and detectives on their cases and upon conviction seeking maximum prison time, you will see a major reduction in violent crime. Programs similar to this have reduced violent crime in some jurisdictions. unfortunately the idea that low bail allowing these career criminals out on the street to commit more violent crimes while waiting for their free lawyer to negotiate a sweetheart deal with the prosecutor that puts them out on the street again does not solve the problem.
Ive had it with honest good officers getting shot or killed just dam sick of it. So heres what needs to be done in these Dem run cities. Fuck them. Until they change there attitude on police officers and start paying them more and hiring a load more then screw those dam Dem run cities. Let them just kill each other. Until the poeple speak up or go toss those useless. Democratic leaders out let them get killed. They deserve all they get. Im sorry on language but someone had to say it finally..
Anyone that would take a job as a social worker willing to work with domestic abuse or violence without protection is asking to be shot and/or killed. Domestic abuse or disputes often end up with violence. What are social workers going to do talk them out of mental illness and/or anger. As one commented that will increase violence and murders.
