FenrisCBS failed to note that LAPD officers had to get ARs from B&B Gun Sales, because official rifles were too far away. The LA DA's office considered charging the store for ignoring the legally required waiting period.
The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People again must learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. ~ Cicero 55 BC

I imagine that they were thoroughly pissed off, too.

That would have been a PR bonanza.
Arc.

The five ARs commandeered from B&B were not fired during the incident. By the time the patrol officers with these gun shop rifles arrived at the scene, the first bad guy had already offed himself, and SWAT officers had already neutralized the second bad guy with their departmental ARs.
