Policewoman in Chicago gets brutally beaten by thug because she didn't want to shoot him, go viral on the Internet

Thanks Black Lives Matter. We have now reached the point where good, decent police officers are afraid to do their jobs and properly defend themselves because of possible backlash, lies and misinformation.



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.



“As I was at the hospital last night, visiting with her, she looked at me and said she thought she was gonna die, and 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,” Johnson said while attending a public ceremony honoring heroic officers and firefighters.
