#ACAB Daily Digest (July 1, 2021):\n\nYesterday, the #LAPD intentionally and deliberately choreographed an explosion to end-cap a #copaganda story on a contraband fireworks seizure for their media partners and nearly demolished an entire SOUTH LA neighborhood, injuring 16 people.pic.twitter.com/Gt8OL5370E

So while sitting in the living room yesterday evening and we heard a loud explosion, it literally shocked the entire house. I live 7 streets over from where this happened.https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-06-30/lapd-responds-to-explosion-at-scene-of-confiscation-of-illegal-fireworks\u00a0\u2026

Our Bomb Squad officers were in the process of seizing over 5,000 pounds of illegal fireworks in the area of 27th Street and San Pedro. Some of the fireworks were being stored in our Bomb Squad trailer as a precautionary measure. Unknown at this time what caused an explosion.

LAPD confiscating fireworks, accidently blowing up a neighborhood with them, and then saying they don't know what caused the explosion is super on brand

the lapd found 5,000 lbs of fire works, this truck can safely contain 15 lbs of explosives. they say they loaded 10 lbs into the truck. if 17 people were hospitalized how big of liars are the lapd?https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2021/07/01/los-angeles-fireworks-explosion/\u00a0\u2026

Absolutely NONE of this explosion in south LA makes sense. This investigation should be interesting, considering it\u2019s LAPD \u201cinvestigating\u201d LAPD. My guesses are nobody will be charged and it\u2019ll be a \u201coopsie we made a booboo :( sowwwy\u201d situation.
