Chicago’s top cop said Thursday one of his officers was seriously beaten at an accident scene because the national focus on police shootings has caused officers to second-guess themselves.
Superintendent Eddie Johnson said the patrol officer told him she did not use her gun to defend herself for fear of a backlash. "She didn’t want her family or the department to go through the scrutiny the next day on national news," he said.
The injured officer, a 17-year Chicago police veteran, got into a struggle with a man who allegedly was high on PCP after she stopped at a crash scene in the Austin community on the West Side on Wednesday morning.
The suspect smashed the officer's face into the pavement repeatedly until she was unconscious, police said.

Sounds like a hoax.
Documentary evidence, please. I believe nothing that comes from a government employee without rock-solid proof to back it up.
In the beating of the policewoman, the fifth-column leftist media and their attacks on police, should be held accountable as co-conspirators, along with the BLM domestic terrorists.
Of course there should also be questions asked about whether women should be police officers in the first place.
Lets just see if Obama call this cop.....any bets??
Well, if he had a sister......................
Sounds like a hoax.
*******
Why does this sound like a hoax? It does’t sound all that far fetched because female cops are easier to get beaten down by hulking black males.

A nearby business captured surveillance video of the incident. The owner didn't see the incident firsthand, but saw how the incident unfolded on the surveillance video."It is terrible. It is total disregard for law enforcement. They put their lives forward every day for us and to see somebody do this, to pummel the police officer is terrible. It is a terrible thing," business owner Louie Rainone said.
Is a local TV station report and a local businessman who saw surveillance video it enough?
Chicago Sun-Times article, quoting Chicago Police Chief Eddie Johnson.
But then who believes the police nowadays? Aren’t they the bad guys? /s

Three reasons - sex, experience, family and politics. As a woman she's well aware of her physical disadvantage and would be much less likely to pursue physical conflict without a definite advantage. Secondly, she's been a cop for seventeen years - which means she's seen some sh!t. She's not going to take on someone high and belligerent without adequate safeguards. Third, women will protect themselves in order to stay alive for their families, not get needlessly killed for them. And finally, I'm positive that chiefs all over the country have reassured their officers not to think like this - that their lives come first and that the force will back them to the hilt.
Just doesn't pass the smell test.
Uh, that’s four reasons, not three.
Pre-coffee excuse hereby invoked.
Candidate for Cop of the Year, at least locally.
Wish that was /s
Happened years ago near me when a person under custody on the way into a hospital grabbed the cop’s gun and shot the cop, and he lived, and was honored as such within a year.
This one for sure, for “’courageous’ restraint”.
I think your comment is a hoax.
Only some lives matter; others, not so much.
> Is a local TV station report and a local businessman who saw surveillance video it enough?
Nope.
The surveillance video that accompanies the story just shows three people beating up one, it’s so low resolution and so short in duration that you can’t even tell if there are cops involved at all or what is happening.
Which is REALLY REALLY ODD given that a little research shows this particular business has a security camera system with much much higher resolution.
Same location, same business, which you can confirm by reading the hat of the man labeled “Merchant” in the news story.
And if you look into “Louis Rainone”, you find a few interesting things. One, he doesn’t appear to exist anywhere outside of this story. Two, he is the spitting image of one John Joseph Rainone, convicted mobster (as was his father). Three, there is a murder convict of the same name and same town from 1986.
I call BS on this story. This is a cover-up of a CPD screw-up.
I think your hoax sensor is broken.
If there’d been a gay slur involved it would be obvious. A little bit of due diligence (performed in my last post) shows this story smells worse than the Fulton Fish Market.
Where was her partner?
scam... she’s 17 year vet and looking to get out on disability. I’ve seen several NYPD former cops in their mid 40’s “retired” when I lived in Florida.
Heck, the Republican congressman that voted for Obamacare was on “disability” from a law enforcement job.
Documentary evidence, please. I believe nothing that comes from a government employee without rock-solid proof to back it up.
The evidence is there, but you are too lazy to look it up.
Please give me rock solid documentary evidence that you are a not a DU plant, that has been under cover since 1998.
Perhaps you should read as far as post #16 before jerking your knee like that.
I nailed this little scam to the wall, dead to rights.
Disability scams are very very common among police, and what you’re seeing here is one in progress.
