Reading the Berkshire Eagle (Western Mass' newspaper), you couldn't help but come across the headline titled Officer pulls gun to ward off attacker....what a joke right? You know nothing is going on in a city when the top headline is a police officer taking a gun off his waist. But patience pays off sometimes.....Keep reading, and you are rewarded most graciously. Taken straight from Eagle reporter Conor Berry:
After that, Boody dropped to the ground and started rolling around while Colello called for assistance. More officers arrived to help subdue Boody, who continued to thrash and kick as he was handcuffed.
Boody admitted to snorting a line of cocaine at a local bar prior to his arrest.
At some point during the evening, he said, he came to the aid of an injured deer on Valentine Road. Boody told officers that he "cuddled" the small deer because it was "crying" and claimed he was shot in the head with an arrow.
Police noticed a scratch on the right side of Boody's bald head but apparently never recovered an arrow. However, officers did recover quantities of cocaine in Boody's car and in his clothing, police said.
I mean, this is just bad journalism. If this article had been titled based on the victim's point of view rather than the officer's, this would be a national headline:
"Man high on cocaine attempts to assault officer at porn shop parking lot after alleged roadkill cuddling."
True Story.
