Local and national activist groups are calling on San Antonio officials to reject a plan to send a police officer, along with a mental health clinician and a paramedic, to respond to 911 calls involving mental health. A new, local police reform organization called Accountability, Compassion and Transparency for San Antonio (ACT 4 SA) and more than a dozen groups want guns and badges taken out of the first-response equation, according to an open letter sent to city leadership on Tuesday.
