PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Two campus security officers in Oregon fired 17 times at a legally armed black man who was trying to break up a fight and struck him nine times, killing him, according to a report released Wednesday.

Oregon State Medical Examiner Dr. Rebecca Millius ruled the death of Jason Washington, 45, a homicide, the report shows.

Washington was struck in the chest, back, abdomen and legs and had graze wounds from a bullet that glanced off his head, she said.

able to get away with murder? "I was afraid for my life" is cop-speak for deny, deny, deny. And it gets them off more than 90% of the time whether their departments fire them or not. Its a disgrace.
