To Bad This Wasn't On C*O*P*S

Now this is a heck of a cop (9)  fight in Beaverton, OR. 
The guy was strung out on mushrooms.
And some people we should legalize all drugs.
Nope, don't think so.



From Oregon Live: A man accused of grabbing a Beaverton police officer's gun and firing it once during a struggle inside City Hall was high on mushrooms at the time and did not respond to police attempts -- including seven Taser blasts -- to control him, the department said Monday.
The incident started shortly before 6 p.m. Friday when 18-year-old Jared Steven Leone walked up to the police records division window, located inside City Hall, and told a clerk he was overdosing, said Detective Sgt. Jim Shumway, a Beaverton police spokesman. Leone reportedly banged his head on the bullet-proof window and started running in circles around the lobby.
Three officers contacted Leone, who was agitated, Shumway said. While the cops were talking to him, Leone reportedly swung and punched one of the officers in the head.
A six-minute struggle on the floor began. Leone quickly grabbed the officer's gun and fired it into a wall, Shumway said.
No one was hit.
"It's clear from the video, the officer didn't have a chance to try to protect the weapon from being removed from the holster," Shumway said. "The moment he grabbed it, he just happened to get lucky."
Leone, Shumway said, immediately fired the weapon after obtaining it.
"He got it, and he shot it," Shumway said.
The officers continued to struggle with Leone and held the gun down, Shumway said. During the incident, Leone also reportedly broke a pair of handcuffs, while his wrist was attached to them.
Shumway said police "tased" Leone seven times and tried a few knee strikes in an attempt to detain him. None was reportedly effective. It appeared, Shumway said, as if Leone could not feel pain. http://www.oregonlive.com/beaverton/index.ssf/2013/07/beaverton_police_say_man_who_f.html
If this happened in Las vegas, Metro would have shot his ass and be totally justified in doing so.
So, either the cops in Beaverton are brave hand fighting a strung high man with a gun or totally stupid. 
I'm not sure which one they are.
