Excerpt from The Daily Wire
Written by Aaron Bandler
A police officer was viciously beaten on Thursday. While she said she could have shot her assailant and prevented the nearly fatal assault, 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."

The Chicago Tribune reports that the incident occurred when a car rammed into a building in Chicago. Three Chicago Police Department officers approached an unidentified man that was moving away from the crash. The driver, who was on PCP, began to smash a "female officer's head against the pavement until she lost consciousness" in a struggle with police officers that lasted "several minutes." The man was eventually tased and pepper-sprayed by one of the other officers.
All three of the police officers were taken to a hospital for treatment.
