    "Some of the fireworks were being stored in our Bomb Squad trailer as a precautionary measure," the LAPD wrote.

    "Clearly protocols were followed and pursued, but something happened in that containment vehicle that should have not happened and we don’t know why," he added.​

    "Hey, anybody see where I left my cigarette?"

    Coca-cola cans filled with explosive material? 10 pounds worth. 25 year old sure was ignorant. That or he was planning something newsworthy

    Well, I think it funny. They went through all that for a guys fireworks stash.....lol. like a cop that chases a speeder down the road and wipes out. Is a guy speeding worth all that? Meh

    Should have left the guy be and nobody would have been hurt. All in the name of the nanny state. Nope...no remorse here.

    Sooooo…did anyone else notice the non-CARB compliant yellow motor under the hood of their Peterbilt or just me? Funny how that stuff works when it comes to their own trucks.

    I stand by what I said. They are injured because of the laws they voted for. How does the saying go.....be careful what you ask for, because you just might get it. The guy who owned the fireworks didn't kill the people. The cops rushing in did. Same as the yahoo's getting their cities burnt to the ground. Sucks to be them, when you enable a situation, don't be surprised by the outcome.
