The Marines Corps has launched an investigation after the California Highway Patrol said shrapnel from an artillery shell, fired during a live-fire demonstration touted by the White House, struck a law enforcement vehicle.

No injuries were reported when an artillery round “detonated overhead prematurely” during Saturday’s 250th anniversary celebration for the Marines Corps at Camp Pendleton, the highway patrol said.

But at least one of its patrol vehicles, on hand to help stop and divert traffic on Interstate 5 through the base during the demonstration, was damaged, the highway patrol said in a statement Sunday.

    How is direct experience being " a self centered prick"?

    If someone said race car drivers don’t have to obey the speed limit on the highway. And someone who used to race shows up and clarifies they still had to follow the law…

    Would you get mad and insult them for having direct experience and sharing their knowledge?
