You know none of this as facts. The bunker busting depth is also not correct. You are citing the public information on a military bomb never used before, so you have no actual first hand knowledge of its capabilities. If you did have first hand knowledge you would be in violation of a few laws if you actually presented the correct specs. People also forget the overpressure of explosions. Especially a 15 ton bomb.
We have no idea what those trucks were doing, you can also guarantee that a satellite followed them to where they were going.
Either way, stop being a drama queen.

I saw an interesting thing at 5:10 - 5:17. Looks like the female officer may have managed to release the magazine from her sidearm during the struggle and it is on the ground near the curb. I went back and watched the earlier part, and it could be what I heard at one point. Many PDs issue their sidearms with a magazine disconnect safety just for this reason. If she dropped the magazine early in the struggle, this might answer why there was not a shot for the rest of that struggle.
No, it is better than that. The gun never went off because she did not have a round chambered. :banghead: The mag release button was palmed in the struggle, I have a hard time believing the officer did it on purpose. Especially since she pulled an un chambered hand gun on a suspect that just ran from her partner and then walked towards her. Common sense would be that he wasn't there to chat. But she decided to wait for him while she was sitting in her unit. So much to break down here.
She is currently out IOD (Injured on Duty) due to mental health and there has been chatter she will medically retire due to mental health...

If the victim of a misdemeanor crime like PC 242 - Battery does not want prosecution, cops walk away 100 out of 100 times. PC 243(e)(1) - Domestic Battery and PC 273.5(a) Corporal injury on spouse or co inhabitant are different and are covered under the domestic violence laws. Even then the misdemeanor 243e1 does not always result in an arrest but has to be documented.
So to summarize; you're wrong.

Wife drives a 2018 cx 9. Plenty of trunk with the back seats folded down. The way the trunk is setup the seats go down to trunk level without folding into the floor. Can fit 7 adults fine. I'm 6'2 200 lbs and fit fine in the third row, is tight but for drives to dinner, movies, less than 2 or 3 hours is good.
She was recently rear ended at like 45 mph. No injuries to her or our kids. Car took the impact like a champ.
Interior is very nice. We have the one below top model. Didn't get the top due to the leather color is limited to one type.
Joy to drive and is very nimble. It will spin tires on take off due to torque and geared for initial acceleration.

100% MacArthur was all about himself. He killed more Americans with his seperate island hopping strat. Imagine if he worked with the Navy and Marines instead of draining resources.
Yes, it's been hard to get around with cement shoes but I make it work.

Depends on how the penal code is written. In California that's not a criminal threat.

When I rejoined my company in Mosul, we stopped at Basra, Baghdad, and AL Assad I believe prior to. All combat landings.
That was the most miserable fight of my life.

Military Police for 8 years. No Civilian LEO experience as of now.
Yes, there is use of force continuum that all US Police Officers and Military Police are trained in.
Here is a link so you can read up on it. LINK
You can jump around on that ladder depending on what is needed at that moment; he pulls a gun and you jump straight from verbal to deadly force. He puts said gun down and you jump back to verbal or somewhere in between depending on the needs.
As for engaging a suspect with your weapon, everything I was ever taught was center mass and if you have to pull the trigger you make sure your target is down. You never shoot a couple times or so.
As far as the unloading of the bullets in a magazine, studies have found the vast majority of shots fired in a police shooting miss, and most officers shoot because of something called sympathetic fire, ie someone else is shooting so they shoot too.
Officers are also dealing with muscle memory and adrenaline when they shoot their weapon. So most officers are usually unaware of how many rounds are going down range and just want to make sure the threat is eliminated, even if a guy is on the ground, he still has the capability to pull out a weapon and waste someone, you should look up some combat stories about that. Trying to train officers to limit the amount of bullets used etc is not smart training. Better to train them to avoid that part, which is generally what they do, but weapons will be used eventually.
Look at the number of officer involved shootings in the US and the number of officer interactions with civilians and you will be shocked at how few officer shootings there really are. They just get most of the attention especially because they generally end up with a fatality.
Hope this helped.
:EDIT: Also as far as body cameras, I have a good amount of close friends who are law enforcement and those cameras are not attached very well. Usually either with a clip or with a pin and pinned into the uniform. However in a scuffle if its hit there is a chance it can come off, but if they were on at the start of a situation slim chance the officers remove them in the middle of a situation, very obvious and not always easy to do. The ones that attach to the belt usually stay on better, but I don't know with ones BRPD uses?

OC is huge, you'll just have to pick a spot.
Depends on how long he is there but yeah, traveling during rush hour traffic is a pain so figure out where you want to be for a day and do something there.
If you want small time pier action go to San Clemente Beach for the day, visit the train station and the mission in San Juan, get lunch at Pedro's Tacos for a San Clemente staple or eat at the Fisherman's on the pier for something more sea foody. Check out the famous Rainbow Sandals (on my third pair in 15 years) For dinner I suggest Carbonara Trattoria. Took my MIL and SIL there for dinner a while back and was really really good.
Moving up the coast Laguna Beach is nice for beach or art. You can do time at the Montage, and there are art galleries all over you can walk to. I recommend Whalen's gallery. He focuses on sea animals and such even if you're not an art fan its pretty cool. For lunch Sapphire has the best burger hands down, used to meet my wife for lunch here all the time when she worked in Laguna. Dinner I recommend Selanne's place right across the street from Surf and Sand Resort on PCH. Really good food and laid back upscale place.
Obviously Newport Beach/Costa Mesa is Crystal Cove and South Coast Plaza, Balboa etc. Too many great restaurants, but Javier's(Mexican), Mastro's(Newport place is Seafood/Costa Mesa is Steak), Bandera(Steak/American)on and on. Gulliver's by John Wayne Airport is a Prime Rib, creamed corn, and creamed spinach kind of place. Really massive cuts of Prime Rib.
Irvine is the Spectrum and the Irvine Regional Park with the OC Zoo and lake. They have many many places to eat, Javier's and Wood Ranch Grill for your two more upscale places. Also the Irvine Improv for a good night of comedy.
Huntington Beach Main Street is awesome, both night and day. For dinner I only recommend one place, Cucina Alessá (make reservations)then stroll down Main street for some gelato, before hitting a bar or two.
If you're in Anaheim, you have Disneyland of course, as well as Downtown Disney and such. I recommend some time spent at the Packing district for great food and great beer, many different small eateries and bars inside an old packing warehouse.
Santa Anna, Chapter One for breakfast, way too hipster of a feel, but the food is awesome.
Give me a specific place you're going to be and I can give you a more detailed run down.
Don't know if anyone realises but Japan's Edge crime (ie knife attacks) are 32 times ours. Whatever weapon a criminal can get their hands on.
We hired Steve Alford after firing Howland...before that we whiffed on PG recruiting and alienated most of the AAU schools thanks to Howland, which is the real reason Howland was canned, not because he sucked at coaching, but because he could no longer recruit to UCLA effectively after losing the Adidas AAU cirucit. This team doesn't play very good defense, sorry I mean this team doesn't play any defense, and our guards have a high propensity to turn the ball over. In the game last night we turned it over 19 times. So far this season that is about average. I fully expect the team to improve this year, but I don't think Steve Alford is the answer. He has I think two more years at least before he gets canned, and a stellar recruiting class coming in next season, so we shall see.

The frog skeleton is a recognized symbol of fallen US Navy SEALs. UCLA was allowed to use it.
Since Mora has started coaching at UCLA they either train with the SEALs or do one of the SEAL events, like the Murph Challenge. Not really long standing but I guess consistent with Mora? The Uniforms are a new black one supposed to "honor and imitate" the Navy Seals blacked out look....so should be interesting.

UCLA was good in the 70s, very good in the 80s, average for most of the 90s with the 98 and 99 seasons being very good, and atrocious for the 00's, worst decade of UCLA football.
UCLA won two Rose Bowls, went to three in the 80s, and won the pac-12 5 times. You can't say we were bad in the 80s.

Saw that ASU game coming, typical UCLA post big blow out win with Mora at the helm. Goodness ASU had no business doing that to our offense for the first half. Oh well another 10-2 season here we come.
