Chicago police released dramatic video showing a hulking gang member, allegedly high on PCP, attacking an officer — a brutal beating that left the cop, who said she didn’t user her gun because she feared public backlash, severely injured. Parta Huff, 28, allegedly slammed the cop’s head onto concrete pavement over and over again, leaving her with a concussion as well as shoulder, wrist and neck injuries, the Chicago Tribune reported. The bodycam video, released Friday, showed a other cops repeatedly shocking Huff with Tasers as he continued to ripped out chunks of the attacked officer’s hair.


quote:

"She looked at me and said she thought she was gonna die,” Superintendent Eddie Johnson said a day after the attack. “She knew that she should shoot this guy, but she chose not to because she didn't want her family or the department to go through the scrutiny the next day on national news.


Seriously, this is what we've come to?

Should a police officer NOT consider the consequences shooting?

For a normal, competent officer, I'm glad there is some hesitation before shooting. Shooting to kill, by default, is not the right answer.

At what point do cops begin quitting, and academy enrollment numbers drop off a cliff? I am sure there are currently cops that are "too close to retirement" to quit, but they sure aren't going to be the ones that show up to a potentially bad scene. I'm talking about the 20 somethings who are passionate about their jobs.

But I guess that's the point where the Federal Government takes over local policing.

I'm not saying that, but she obviously should've protected herself. She couldn't even do that when it was the right thing to do.

Probably never. First of all, their job has never been safer. Second, the chances of having a justified homicide in their entire career are incredibly low, much less actually committing a crime.

She has the wrong mindset for the profession and shouldn't be a cop. With the neck injuries she won't be ever again. She will collect a check for the rest of her life.

This goes back to training, or a lack thereof.

We've got officers that use deadly force too quickly and we've got officers that don't use it when their life is actually threatened.

That's bullshite.

In 2016, those same thoughts cross every cop's mind when engaging a suspect. Maybe not to this extreme but it is a major concern.

I don't think officers should put themselves in harm's way BUT I like the hashtags too much.

In what situations? In some, yes it is. I do understand her reluctance to shoot here but it would have been justified.

It should be an instinct.
