Is there some particular reason they had to detonate all 5000 pounds in one go, or was it just a "let's throw it all in at once and see what happens :munch:" thing?

Probably either
A.) Fireworks are fairly 'harmless' and this is good bomb disposal practice
B.) We need to justify our insane budget somehow

Or a combo of A+B.

Hell of a 'not what to do' teaching moment.

I think the police claim is that it was 10 pounds for a 15 pounds rated explodotron, which the manufacturer actually rated at 8 pounds of TNT, or some such stupid bullshit.

It's cops. They did it wrong and dangerously and hosed up massively and innocent people got hurt then they lied about it and will continue to lie about it. It's called an MO.

honestly how could they do better, it's not like their budget is two billion dollars a year or anything

*holds finger to earpiece*

folks, you're not going to believe the information I've just received

You're right, that budget is too low. If only there were some large piece of equipment that could publicly fail in order to justify raising that budget even higher in their next hearing

Cops are some shameless liars. "You see that guy who got headshotted, well my gun got scared and went off, and you know its a crime to scare a cops gun, so we put his headless corpse on the hood and drove it around town so others would know their rights. Anyway just pay the family with tax dollars and give me my god given 2 weeks paid vacation"

When he girds his loins at the start, his robe falling down as he runs, the noises the baby camel makes. You're right, it's like a cartoon.

Spinning around and putting baby between him and mom is a pro move. He's definitely wrangled camels before.

The joke likely isn't just that, but the original cartoons have both share the same voice actor, doing pretty much the same voice (plus/minus an electronic filter) and an obviously thinly veiled Cobra Commander actually makes a guest appearance in a later episode of The Transformers. (as 'Old Snake', probably no relation)

I worked with Arthur Burghardt, the voice of G.I. Joe's Destro and Transformer's Devastator, back in the early 2000's and he told me Chris Collins/Latta was an amazing talent but also a supremely hosed up addict and and awful, miserable human being.

He also offered to record an answering message for my pager in-character as Destro and it is one of my life's greatest regrets that I never took him up on the offer.

Shakespeare has honorable characters. They’re the fanservice ones that exist in the histories that no one likes and were written to ingratiate himself with the reigning monarchs. :v:
