With16 officers injured? How much explosive were they using and how close were they lined up? That seems excessive.

“Sounds like an explosive breaching exercise gone bad.”

Sounds like they should have just “pretended” the door was locked then... This could have injured innocents inside the breach along with the suspects in a real situation.

But stepping back and looking at the bigger picture I have an issue with the corrupt anti-citizen FBI training locals anything period... This is the bigger problem with this situation.

Sounds like some low IQ genius dropped a flash-bang grenade after pulling the pin.

Absolutely my point... Firecrackers would have made the same demonstrative point considering it is just training.

Absolutely brilliant.

You got that right. It doesn’t take a SWAT team. It takes only one man with a gun and guts. I can’t believe some moron conducted a his own “investigation” and wrote a bogus report declaring that the Uvalde law enforcement observers did nothing wrong by refusing to bring the massacre to an end and did their job by just standing by and observing the incident. Cowards.

Training practice with live explosives? That is brilliant high IQ stuff there..
= = =

My thought too.

If you need an indication that you messed up the handling some device, substitute a flash bulb or firecracker for the explosive.

Playing around with live explosives is very stupid, unless you are actual military.

Given how politicized modern Union cops are I’m finding it hard to feel sympathy.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Someone needs to redo that cartoon with swat officers and an FBI instructor.

Pulled the pin and threw it.
Threw the pin, not the grenade...

***Training practice with live explosives?***

Saw this thread and it brought back to mind an old TV show from 1961. Dick Powell Theater “Ricochet” in which troops are training to disarm mines using a bayonet as a probe. A goof off smart a$$ private hits the center and “Boom!”

The things I can remember in my old age! I wish I could remember which car I drive!

Good point.
Where were Alec Baldwin and his Armorer (Hannah Gutiérrez)?

Maybe some of the SWATsters heard about John Kerry’s purple heart medals. And they want to get some more badges for their collection.
