Police search a car and find cocaine, plus a US Army rocket launcher [More]
This old scam depends on an equal mix of fraud, ignorance and hysteria, which are evidently in good supply consideirng how often and how long it’s been pulled.

qwll I think Suton’s finest are in for a hard pull. The piece says this particular unit is a “training model”, most likely meaning it mimmicks the real device to help train potential users and get them familiar with the shape and function of the thing. That should mean he’ll beat the “possession of incendiary device” rap… its not an incendiary device, its an inert training device. Even if it were a real launcher, there is still no ‘device” to launch. The launch tube is no more lethal than a length of two inch steel water pipe of similar length.. Not good for much more than playing Whack-a-Mole with the silly thing.
As usual da coppers go all in with the schitzophrenia mode. AND overcharge because of their fantasy.
