Paramedics reported that Perrotta declined treatment in the ambulance.

“I am fine, I just needed to get out of here,” she said, according to the report. Another officer described Perrotta at the time as “visibly hysterical (crying and breathing rapidly) and had blood all over her uniform”, the report said.

I think we've seen with cops over and over again that, to them, the rational thing is making sure the victim doesn't survive, and thus, taking away their ability to testify.
