"They just pushed her head right through the back
windshield!" a woman said as she shook her head rapidly back and forth,
her voice rising. She waved her hands in the air and pointed at the
police car parked in the middle of Bloomington Ave. Blood was smeared
across the police car, its window shattered. Parallel to, and facing
the opposite direction, was a second police car. Behind it sat an
idling ambulance. According to reports, the woman had been involved in
an altercation with a man several blocks from the scene. In the ensuing
fracas a car crashed into a backyard damaging a fence and a picnic
table. From there the woman ran down the street yelling for help. When
she reached the corner of 31st and Bloomington, she spotted a squad car
heading in the direction of the crash. When she reached the car, police
claimed the woman tried to jump in the window and reach for the
officer's gun. "The cops are saying she tried to grab his gun. How are
you going to reach across and grab the gun?" said DeJuan Reid.[
