In a separate incident Monday night, Beaverton police officers detained Ryan Davis along Scholls Ferry Road after they said he was holding a pump-action shotgun. Beaverton police spokesman Jim Shumway said Davis was wearing full camouflage gear and carrying the gun in the “low ready position.” When police officers arrived at the scene, Davis put a round in the chamber, Shumway said. As officers detained him, Davis said he was “practicing his second amendment rights.” He was eventually released. In an email to KATU, Davis said “They placed me in hand cuffs and took my weapon and then took my ID without my consent and threatened to arrest me for disorderly conduct.” “What are we supposed to do if we see a guy walking down the street with a gun?” Shumway said. “This is an officer-involved shooting waiting to happen.” In a later email, Davis said after he had time to think the situation over, he concluded the police did the right thing.
