The Marines Corps has launched an investigation after the California Highway Patrol said shrapnel from an artillery shell, fired during a live-fire demonstration touted by the White House, struck a law enforcement vehicle.
No injuries were reported when an artillery round “detonated overhead prematurely” during Saturday’s 250th anniversary celebration for the Marines Corps at Camp Pendleton, the highway patrol said.
But at least one of its patrol vehicles, on hand to help stop and divert traffic on Interstate 5 through the base during the demonstration, was damaged, the highway patrol said in a statement Sunday.
Jesus…
trump appointed SC judges just said not even they can stop trump from doing anything last week…
And you…
You really think the only way to accomplish shit is thru the legal system?
Just, since when did you think Cali cops are concerned about the legality of their issues?
If an ICE agent has a gun to your head, screaming he’s going to execute you, would you be ok with cops showing, seeing it’s a fed, and then saying:
Or would you want them to arrest the ICE agent with a fucking gun to your head. And then worry about the legal ramifications later when you don’t have a crazy person holding a gun to your head?
Like, come the fuck on, does none of this make the teenyist but if sense to you?
That entire hypothetical scenario is basically how it would go down, yes. Cops are not on your side any more than ICE is. Although, recent actions by ICE have certainly pushed more cops off of their side, which is a plus.
Ok…
So do you not understand how much pull Newsom has with the police in Cali?
Do you not understand the buck stops on the Govenor’s desk for police?

So what do you want Newsome do to? Send California police officers to storm a Marine base?
I can assure you that cops can arrest military members…
And that since US military isn’t supposed to act on US soil, yes, cops can go onto a military base to stop them from firing live artillery rounds into civilian populated areas.
But even if it wasn’t ok, you do it to keep your citizens safe, then fight the fallout in courts.
How fucking bad is Civics in highschool these days? I’m getting the feeling from this thread that it hasn’t even existed for a decade.
