Reading about the military getting involved in the LA riots in 1992 ... 15:41 - Jun 2 with 349 viewsDarth_Koont

I hope that this sort of thing has been sorted out because not sure there's much room for error. Anyway it's a blackly humorous story:

"In another incident, the LAPD and Marines intervened in a domestic dispute in Compton, in which the suspect held his wife and children hostage. As the officers approached, the suspect fired two shotgun rounds through the door, injuring some of the officers. One of the officers yelled to the Marines, "Cover me," as per law enforcement training to be prepared to fire upon if necessary. However, per their military training, the Marines mistook the wording as providing cover while utilizing firepower, resulting in a total of 200 rounds being sprayed into the house. Remarkably, neither the suspect nor the woman and children inside the house were harmed."

Jesus wept.
