Man beats Chicago police officer who refused to shoot him for fear of public backlash, rips out her hair as other cops Tase him
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 group of cops repeatedly shocking Huff with Tasers as he continued to ripped out chunks of the officer’s hair.
“Let her go! Just let her f--king go!” an officer attempting to restrain Huff screamed. “He’s got her f--king hair!”
Chicago police chief outlines new use of force policy
Huff, 28, was charged with attempted murder of a police officer and aggravated battery to a police officer for the Oct. 5 attack. The female officer — who was rushed to a hospital after her partner and other cops pried Huff off of her — told Chicago’s police chief she didn’t shoot her attacker because she feared it would tarnish the force’s reputation.
