Illinois, a lawmaker, introduced a bill that critics would legally make them legally to those who experience mental health episodes to attack the police.
Lisa Davis Democratic Party leader Lisa Davis, the lawyer of Cook County Public Defender, introduced the House of Representatives in February.
According to the conditions of the law, the bill responded to a case in which an individual who was injured was a defense that the battery worsened when he was a police officer, and responded to a case where police officers could interact with those who believed that they had a mental health episode, and interacted with people with documented mental illness.
The bill received two co -sponsors, Marcus Evans and Kelly Cassidy.
At present, Illinois can be prosecuted as a weighted battery if hellinois attacks “police officers, community policy volunteers, firefighters, private security officers, correctional employees, or sexually dangerous people or human services that supervise or control people.”
Second Cop City, a blog to report on the Chicago policy issue, first reported the bill.
The blog said, “If this passes, mental illness will be an excuse to attack and win the police. “Who will actually have thousands of people who suddenly get a doctor’s note to attack the police?”
Davis’s proposal will legalize the attack on the police. CWB Chicago said that other first respondents, such as firefighters like a husband, would not spare.
The bill was referred to the Illinois General Assembly Rules Committee, where unpopular laws die, the news report said.
Fox News Digital contacted Davis and The Grand Lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police.
