I don’t know if there is any single takeaway here, this story is just fucking ridiculous on every single level.
They bullshited themselves into a search warrant based on typical cannabis “investigation methods”.
In a state where recreational cannabis use is legal.
Persisted in the search even after their main argument for it, high energy usage indicating a grow-op, fell away when it was clear it was indeed a medical facility.
Made the motherfucking “Gun flies to MRI” TV trope a certified reality. This is a thing that verifiably happened now.
Instead of getting help, used a sealed (!) emergency shutdown button…
…which damaged the machine. And released thousands of dollars worth of helium gas.
Forgot their loaded magazine on the ground.
This can’t be real. I’m fucking dying over here. Please let there be bodycam footage of the cop speaking in a high pitched voice after. (I know the helium was probably not released into the room, but one can hope I guess)

All those writers and directors who were laughed at and mocked have now been vindicated.
