    The job of the police is not to provide medical assistance, it is to put him in jail, which will make his situation infinitely worse.

    And how the hell do you know that he’s intoxicated? He could be mentally ill or have a head injury or it could be for one of a dozen other reasons. It’s pretty arrogant and bigoted to assume that he’s intoxicated.

    My advice is to mind your own goddamn business. But if you just can’t help yourselves, maybe do the person a favor and actually call an ambulance if your intention is to actually help them rather than make their situation worse.
