As long as she could remember, Ronnie wanted to be a cop. Everyone around her knew it, too. She was born and raised in Chicago, where the law enforcement community is a tight-knit family, rivaled only by the camaraderie of the hockey community, which Ronnie found about 10 years ago. It was a big learning curve, Ronnie remembers, but she loved every minute on the ice, and she especially loved her team. She never dreamed it would all come to a screeching halt when she responded to that fateful call…

A car had crashed into a liquor store on the west side of Chicago, narrowly missing pedestrians and cars parked all around. Ronnie and her partner arrived on the scene just as the driver was attempting to flee, and when she ordered him to stop, all hell broke loose.

The struggle that followed was brutal. The suspect, far bigger than Ronnie and her partner, seemed to have superhuman strength. He wrestled Ronnie to the ground, viciously attacking her head, and refused to end his assault, despite repeated warnings. She thought he might be under the influence of an illegal substance, but in the heat of the moment, it didn’t really matter – she needed to get him in handcuffs, and she needed to do it immediately. The problem was, none of the standard tactics were working, not even the taser. Her partner called for back-up, and in the end, it took the efforts of all three officers to subdue the assailant and place him under arrest.
