Illinois Dem lawmaker pushes bill to legalize attacks on police for people having mental health episode
An Illinois lawmaker has introduced a bill that critics say will make it legal for anyone experiencing a mental health episode to attack police officers.
Change the word "police" to "lawmakers" and yea... go for it!
will this mean we can haul out a democrat lawmaker and kick their ass and just claim we are having a mental health episode??
No that is only for law enforcement who has the power over people who are being disruptive. Lawmakers have no authority under the law they can only recommend prosecution. Believe me if we could go after lawmakers this would be over before it hit the Great Awakening.
Having not read the bill, on the surface it seems reasonable, but I would think this also applies to people with anxiety, depression, bipolar issues and other such things.
I remember reading an article that said a large swath of the left has these kinds of mental issues. So, in my mind, this is a free pass for the crazy people on the left (antifa, blm) to beat police officers.
Ummm who's having the mental episode?
That's crazy. Does the bill also allow the police to shoot and kill them?
This will be used by criminals who will say they are"bipolar", which is a complete lie and does not exist. There are only people who cannot control their anger because their brain is lacking important fatty acids, like EPA and DHA.
At the same time is the intent of this bill bad? If a police officer shows up to a situation with someone mentally unstable (actually diagnosed etc.) should that unstable person be charged if they attack ann officer? Not everything done by a Democrat is bad… most, but not all. I know both police and mental health advocates that would support this.
