[Newsweek] An Oregon man was arrested Thursday after he fired a shotgun round above the heads of "defund the police" protesters outside the Salem Police station, where officers were closely monitoring both sides of the confrontation.Salem law enforcement officials say Larry McFarland, 75, drove his vehicle up to the sidewalk outside the local police station Thursday around 9 p.m., where about 20 "defund the police" protesters had gathered. Cell phone video from the incident showed McFarland questioning what the protesters were doing before he fired a shotgun round into the air and warned them he'll "kill" anybody who disobeys his orders. But officers watching the "police abolishment" protest from afar witnessed the confrontation and immediately sought to disarm McFarland, of Keizer, Oregon. Posted by: Besoeker 2021-04-18 |
