This story is strange, a man was taken into custody in the middle of the night, guns pointed at him then released without charges. He did nothing wrong and neither the swat team, Oregon state police or the local police who were all there for the arrest will accept responsibility for the arrest.

Oregon is weird!





Oregon Department of Precrime? Man Arrested For Buying 3 Legal Guns



Concerns about an Oregon Department of Transportation employee who purchased several guns after being placed on leave prompted law enforcement across Southern Oregon to step in.
Negotiators and a SWAT team from Medford police safely took a man — whose name wasn’t released — into protective custody Monday morning in the 500 block of Effie Street, Medford police said in a news release
He was taken to Rogue Valley Medical Center for a mental-health evaluation.
The man recently had been placed on administrative leave from his job and was “very disgruntled,” the news release said.
ODOT Communications Director Patrick Cooney said there were administrative, personnel matters involved that limited what the department could discuss.
However, the state agency had reported concerns about the man to law enforcement agencies, who started monitoring him, officials said.
“We had concerning information regarding a personnel issue and were watching the subject,” Jackson County Sheriff Mike Winters said.
In two days, the man bought a Heckler & Koch .45-caliber universal self-loading handgun, a Walther .380-caliber handgun and an AK-47 assault rifle, Medford police Lt. Bob Hansen said. All of those firearms were purchased legally, with required record checks by the Oregon State Police.
Authorities were “extremely concerned” that the man may have been planning to retaliate against his employers, the news release said.
“Instead of being reactive, we took a proactive approach,” OSP Sgt. Jeff Proulx said.

What makes you say that?

If we could justify invading countries based merely on a perceived threat, why can't the police take on that kind of proactive approach as well?

Of course, being a squishy liberal, I thought the Bush Doctrine was a crock of [BLEEP]. But I imagine that the conservatives who backed it would support the Oregon police as well.
