Ill. Dem. State Senate leader carjacked and fired at. Lost her Mercedes.

This is kind of funny, though. She might have gotten a psychiatrist responding to her 911 call if her bill became law:

"Rep. Scanlon is one of 125 co-sponsors of the Mental Health Justice Act, which aimed to replace some police officers as first responders with mental health specialists. All of the bill's sponsors are Democrats. The bill's text says its purpose is "To authorize the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award grants to States and political subdivisions of States to hire, employ, train, and dispatch mental health professionals to respond in lieu of law enforcement officers in emergencies involving one or more persons with a mental illness or an intellectual or developmental disability, and for other purposes."

At the time the Mental Health Justice Act was introduced in February 2021, with Scanlon on board as one of its original co-sponsors, The Hill reported, "Congress wants to make it easier for state and local governments to defund the police by instead funding mental health services and empowering them to respond to emergency calls instead of armed officers.""
