LAPD chief apologizes for botched firework detonation but community members say apology isn t good enough

Listen 6 min MORE Some of the South LA residents, whose homes and cars were damaged or destroyed in the LAPD’s botched detonation of illegal fireworks near the July 4 holiday, are yet to receive the support and compensation they were promised.

Community activists and some city leaders say they are not satisfied with the LAPD’s explanation about the “miscalculation” that led to the dangerous detonation of illegal fireworks in a South Los Angeles neighborhood some three weeks ago.  “It is not a miscalculation. It cannot just be explained away,” said Paula Minor of Black Lives Matter-LA during a rally outside LAPD headquarters on Tuesday. “You do not detonate explosives in a neighborhood. . If this had been another neighborhood, not a working-class Black and Brown neighborhood in South LA, they would not have detonated those explosives.”

LAPD bomb squad caused massive fireworks explosion, police chief says

View Comments Los Angeles bomb technicians miscalculated the weight of homemade fireworks in a containment chamber that resulted in a catastrophic explosion that injured 17 people in South Los Angeles, authorities said Monday. Los Angeles Police Chief Michael Moore said five members of the bomb squad have been removed as a result of the explosion while they further investigate. The explosion – which damaged dozens of homes, businesses and vehicles just days before July Fourth – was highly unusual, officials say, because such containment chambers are designed to withhold blasts. The bomb technicians overloaded it above the safety rating, however, even as authorities are investigating whether the detonation device had a defect.
