>>1530489>Less than lethal firearmSo it wasn't a firearm, it was a BB gun or a paintball gun? It has to actually shoot bullets and fucking kill someone to be called a firearm
>>1530497"less than lethal" means pepper/rubber bullet gun. From range, much less chance of someone dying but still causes enough pain and damage it can't be classified the same way as a bb/paintball gun. The reason it's called "less than lethal" instead of "non-lethal" is because there's still a decently heavy projectile that can still very much cause lethal damage if fired up close or into a vulnerable area like the eye or throat. Real cops usually use them for riot control. It's not as concerning that some retard is running around with them, but they're still very much something that someone shouldn't be running around with like this guy was because he could still kill someone with it.
>>1530497It didn't say less than lethal, it said less lethal.Firearm refers to the weapon igniting gunpowder to use the resulting gas to propell a bullet down a barrel. That's why it's called a FIREarm. BB guns are not firearms. Paintball guns are not firearms. A 'less lethal' firearm would either be a smaller caliber and/or use rubber bullets.
>>1530489>and a less-lethal firearm.So not a firearm. What is this fake news bullshit? Y'know what, no I'm glad we wasted all these resources to get this dangerous larping retard off the streets.
>>1530507See >>1530502 and >>1530504.From a technical and legal standpoint, a less lethal firearm is still a firearm due to working the exact same way, it just fires ammo that isn't designed for lethality. The thing is anything shot at firearm speed can very much be lethal, hence why they can't call it "non-lethal".
>>1530509I don't fucking care. At all. If he's not carrying an actual firearm that shoots bullets, then he's not breaking the law. He's just being a dumbass. So congratulations for wasting so many resources to arrest and search a larper, that's being charged with ... ???
>>1530510>If he's not carrying an actual firearm that shoots bullets, then he's not breaking the law.Ok one, he did have a gun that shot bullets. Rubber bullets are still bullets and can very much kill someone, and again from a legal standpoint a "less lethal" firearm is still a firearm. Two, impersonating a cop is still very fucking illegal, ESPECIALLY when you use it to hang around schools.>So congratulations for wasting so many resources to arrest and search a larper, that's being charged with ... ???He's being charged with possessing a weapon on school property because you can't even bring a BB gun into a fucking school, especially when you're doing so by impersonating a cop in tactical gear.
>>1530510>He's just being a dumbass. So congratulations for wasting so many resources to arrest and search a larper, that's being charged with ... ???Reminder that when they went to this guy's house to investigate they found he had three kids with his girlfriend being kept in conditions so bad they immediately called CPS.

This guy was going to larp as a cop protecting kids meanwhile his actual kids were sitting in filth and bugs.

>>1530488average demtrash parenting LMAO
>>1530527Living in filth and abandoning your children is actually more associated with liggeralism. Liggerals support the killing of innocent babies in the womb, no surprise they love harming children.

The privately owned panopticon is for your safety, citizen! Do not resist! Don't question why Deputy Diddler accessed the cameras installed in the elementary school gym!
>>1530610Yes, I understood that.
>>1530610This story is made up.>twenty nine palms>Morongo>Dep. StumboFilthy house though, so he is obviously a Democrat, and probably trying to molest children as 100% of chomos are LGBTQ.
>>1530489>deputies found the residence to be in extremely unsanitary and deplorable condition, with significant amounts of dirt, debris, and accumulated filth throughout the homeTypical republican den.
