| 75 Year Old Larry McFarland Arrested in Oregon After Firing Shotgun Above 'Defund the Police' Protesters |
| 2021-04-18 |
| [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. |

| #6 If he had thrown cans of peas or frozen water bottles at them, would that have been okay? |

| #5 Larry just found out that the cops are just mercs in the urban environment who follow the orders of their masters. When enough Larrys figure out what has happen, they'll realize that when the cops act like that, the cops are indeed part of the problem - disarming the citizens of their political unit. Now the local Sheriffs who are usually elected, are a different matter. |

| #4 But officers watching ... immediately sought to disarm McFarland, of Keizer, Oregon. What comes from worshiping protocols and rubber stamps as divine law for nearly a hundred years. 'Sorry, sir, but you're supposed to be a potential victim. You can't be anything else.' |

| #1 Larry was only doing what the police SHOULD be doing (but cannot) to end the lawlessness. Larry is probably lucky he wasn't killed. |
