Instead of a sign that says "Do Not Disturb" I need one that says "Already Disturbed Proceed With Caution."

So these two democrats supported a Bill that aims 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 so that armed officers aren't wasting their time responding to calls where armed officers aren't needed.

When you get into the endzone, act like you've been there before.

All this rise in crime in blue cities and states. You don't hear about this in cities and states where defunding the police is a non-starter.

I'm for better police training but not defunding them. That's just dumb- as the mayor of SF has discovered.

Have a read of the Bill that Scanlon is signatory to.

The next time that an armed, violent, mentally crazed person backs down during a confrontation because of interaction with an unarmed 'mental health professional' will be the first time.
