PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Portland police have disarmed a man accused of swinging a toy light saber at customers in a toy store, assaulting at least three of them.
Sgt. Pete Simpson says officers found the man - still swinging the light saber - in the parking lot of a Toys R Us store Wednesday night at the Jantzen Beach mall. One officer tried to use a Taser but it was ineffective.
A second officer made contact with his Taser but the man used his light saber to break one of the wires.
Simpson says officers were finally able to wrestle the struggling man to the ground as he yelled incoherent statements.
The 33-year-old Hillsboro man was taken to an area hospital for a mental evaluation.
Simpson says none of the customers required medical attention.
Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good taser at your side.
Am I the only one wondering why they needed multiple taser attempts to disarm a tard swinging what isn't even the structual equivalent of a whiffle ball bat?

Cops. Like Derron, they don't know how to handle an altercation that doesn't involve pumping someone full of lead.

:lol:
Damn impressive.
Not as clumsy or random as a Glock, an elegant weapon for a more civilized age.
