Pre-Crime Policing Posted: 2 days ago by NoPantsMan
To hear them tell it, the five police agencies who apprehended 39-year-old Oregonian David Pyles thwarted another lone wolf mass murderer. The problem is he committed no crime, yet the police had him "voluntarily" surrender while facing numerous swat team members with guns pointing at him. His legal firearms were also confiscated. Ultimately all was returned but is this the right sort of behavior?
