What on earth?
Bomb squad? Remember this one from a couple of years back:
They don't explode ordnance found at crime scenes here.
Preliminary report says 3 deputies were transporting live ordinance, backpack was jostled it when it exploded, killing 3 instantly.
Case of stun grenades went off maybe??
That is sad.
Democrats at work.
What explosive in use today, especially in a training environment, is that prone (jostled) to detonate? 50 y/o sweaty dynamite sticks? Flask of Nitro? What else is that unstable?
The Myth Busters guys use to do a lot of their demolition stuff at (IIRC) correctly, an LASO range. I wonder if this was the same one...
Tannerite ?
Most LEO explosives are binary. Separated until needed and mixed. Det cord goes bad after decades. Could have been a backpack full of primers.
When I was on the gunboats in Nam two bored sailors on patrol decided to play catch with a concussion grenade. They managed to break the pin (cheap pot metal), drop it and blow a hole in the deck of the boat. Fortunately there was no shrapnel, no one was injured and the boat wasn’t severely damaged. Though the Chief made them wish they had been sent to the hospital later. I would hope that the LAPD would be better disciplined around explosives. I would say that shyt happens. But in all the munitions I saw used in Nam a grenade or mortar shell or claymore never went off by accident.

L.A. County jails are handing inmates over to ICE for the first time in years

The LASD has to do that because ICE is using federal warrants instead of detainers.
Federal warrants cannot be ignored.
Terrible news.
This is awful news...
