xpost from /r/portland

because if you post a video of a crime in /r/portland you need to provide a case number which puts an undue burden on the OP, imagine if there was evidence of an ongoing crime and the /r/portland mods shut it down putting people in danger because there is no case number. Also who is following up with the case numbers? Are they really calling the police and triple checking on this stuff?

The footage kind of speaks for itself, but I'll try to give some context.

This bicycle chop shop flotilla has been growing for more than a year. After doing a fly-through to inspect what new bikes were around I get some activity on the mothership. Not long after, dude pulls out a .22 rifle and begins firing at me. There are many many shots fired in course of the video.

Sorry for the shakiness of the footage, I'm trying to present a moving target.

Note: I know it was a .22 rifle from the characteristic small cartridge sound (heard from quite far away). Also you can have evidence of a single pump, this was no pellet gun.

edit: Someone else can go to the police or river sheriffs or whomever. I hate to say "I'm too busy" when clearly I have time to do this, but I'm too busy to involve myself any further than being the eye in the sky.

edit2: the timestamp on the video is from 1:21pm today
