They seem to like blurring those lines. As though the agents being in danger is part of the goal.
Makes you wonder, what government wants the spark to ignite the powder keg? That would be like packing the Reichstag with flammable stuff and telling a local arsonist about it -- OH.
I may be from a hive of scum and villainy (southsiiiiide!), but also I have jumper cables, so back up while I take care of this.
Quirk of the video - he has a high power flashlight under the barrel, I think. Illumination looks like flash, but the lack of "flinch" tells me there was no loud sound when we see it.
Oh and they didn't shoot 6 random bystanders, which I'm pretty sure they would.
Yeah, lived here most my life, and while I've never gotten stuck where I needed the assist, I am that stranger with a shovel.
For locals to not help is deeply non-normal and inhospitable behavior in the Midwest.
If I stop posting because I've been sent to camp, just know... I did it for comments like this <3
Man that website sucks.
Bahaha, thanks!
Yeah, I've got you, I think these links should work, but no guarantees if you're blocking videos or whatever:

The Sheriff whose officers are presumably being trained that it is Bulletproof with a big B, that guy doesn't know.
It's an information-environment thing. If you go far enough to the right in the USA, you get a very different set of information sources.
Those information sources think the Cybertruck is bulletproof, because Elon said that it was (we actually talk about that piece in the article).
I appreciate you, Gollum, and I agree that that is a great video...
... Which is why that video is linked in the article under the heading:
"Cybertrucks Are Not Bulletproof. Watch This Guy Shoot Holes in One to Prove It."
As a Toyota truck owner, can confirm.
Per the Cybertruck warranty:
"This New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover any vehicle damage or malfunction directly or indirectly caused by, due to, or resulting from...
... The environment or an act of God, including, but not limited to, exposure to sunlight, airborne chemicals, tree sap, animal or insect droppings, ... water, contamination, lightning and other environmental conditions"
So, if you get all bricked up in the car wash, you're now the proud owner of a $100,000 rust brick.
