Chicago police released dash cam and body camera footage of an arrest in which an officer was beaten by a suspect but did not fire her weapon because she feared community backlash.
The Chicago Police Department released two pieces of video from the arrest on Oct. 5. The video shows the incident near Roosevelt and Cicero, including officers struggling with 28-year-old Parta Huff. Huff, police said, was high on PCP and had just crashed his car into a business.
In the dash cam video the female officer and her partners detained the man, and he began to struggle with the female officer when she begins to handcuffs him. With only one of his wrists cuffed, the officer repeatedly instructs Huff to stop fighting and stop resisting.
As the officers try to take Huff down, he takes the female officer down with him, her head pounded into the pavement. He is eventually handcuffed by other officers at the scene and taken into custody.
The body cam video, which came from an officer who joined the scene after the initial incident, begins while officers are already on the ground trying to subdue Huff. You can hear Tasers and officers struggling to pull Huff of the female officers, but he doesn’t let go; you can see pieces of hair in his hand. Police struggled to get handcuffs on him.
The female officer remains hospitalized more than a week after the initial incident due to the injuries to her head. Huff was charged with attempted murder and aggravated battery. Police said he was high on PCP at the time of the incident.
Chicago police Supt. Eddie Johnson said the officer feared for her life and also feared the community backlash if she shot Huff.
“She thought she was going to die. She knew that she should shoot this guy, but she chose not to, because she didn’t want her family or the department to have to go through the scrutiny the next day on national news,” Supt. Johnson said.
The video release is part of an ongoing effort from the Chicago Police Department to be more transparent.

That’s total BS! My youngest son is a police officer in Oak Park and I fear for him almost daily. When is the left going to stop coddling these law breakers.
When you are on PCP you have sub human strength, and out of your mind. She could have shot him between the nuts, but he probably wouldn’t have felt it….
I THINK THAT IS SUPER HUMAN STRENGTH, NOT SUB. MEANING BELOW HUMAN STRENGTH. RIGHT? WHEN YOU ARE IN A LIFE AND DEATH STRUGGLE LIKE SHE WAS, THERE IS LITTLE TIME TO THINK MUCH LESS ACT. I AM SURE SHE HAD HER HANDS BUSY TRYING TO HOLD ONTO THIS NUT CASE FOR FEAR HE WOULD TAKE HER GUN AND SHOOT THEM ALL. HE WAS OUT OF HIS MIND ANYWAY AND MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN FOUND RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SHOOTINGS. REALLY A SAD SITUATION. THEY SHOULD HAVE CALLED FOR BACK UP BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SEIZE HIM KNOWING HE WAS OUT OF HIS MIND ON DRUGS BY THE EVIDENCE HE LEFT AT THE FIRST SCENE. OH WELL, EACH CASE IS DIFFERENT AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT ‘MIGHT’ HAVE HAPPENED, ONLY WHAT DID.
YES. AND NOW THEY HAVE RELEASED JUSSIE SMOLLET BECAUSE OF SOME POLITICAL CONNECTION, I AM SURE.
Should not have happened – Blue Lives Matter too! As for the suspect that was found to be on PCP – if you do wrong – – wrong follows.
“The left only cares when it is convenient too. They are very voter & future voting block oriented to the detriment of our country (USA).
my life is worth more than any community backlash…when these thugs get away with this crap…then it does nothing more than give the thugs more power….this is the price you pay for socialism and political correctness…
So now some liberal scum layer will use being high on pcp as an excuse, instead of a reason, but really not much of a reason either. Just plain ol guilt! The legal system is broken! When we have lawyers making lucrative careers defending and more often than not getting their criminal clients off, or pled down to lesser charges, of course with the help of a system that does everything it can for the criminals, while victims get screwed! More than once along with family members! Plus we have normal folks on juries, that are forced to give up their pay more often than not, to help a system designed by the lawyers on both sides! That can be required to be isolated in a guarded safe area if needed, but family gets hung out in the wind! I say Jurors should also be a profession, like lawyers that must study the law and not be required to give up so much as “ their duty”!
I worked in a mental institution in college and we had a 5’5″ 130lb guy high on PCP brought in by his family. This small guy freaked out and beat the living hell out of 7 orderlies (I was one of them) before we were able to get him into a concrete and steel quiet room and we werent being nice about handling him after he puncher the first guy literally knocking him 6′ through the air. The cops her were lucky this guy was probably coming down from his high or he would have killed them.
I am a former law enforcement officer, and I believe officers should be allowed to pull their firearms at will !!
