See? Who says racial profiling doesn't work?!

I am referencing the "routine vehicle inspection"

God Damn, when are those left wing LAPD Libtards going to realize that the sound of 30 handguns and 7 rifles firing is covered under the 1st amendment?!

Freedom of speech, baby! let the man fire his weapons, into the air !

The guy was probably just shuttling the guns to the airport as a convenience for Hollywood celebrities and pro athletes.
