The Sheriff is a fucking moron then, who hasn't done the most cursory due dilligence, a brief internet search as a sanity check.

Like, I hear you, I get the whole concept of information silos / different segments of the hyperreality...

... But it also just actually is utter incompetence, objectively.

There are at least a 100 videos of people shooting at these cybertrucks with various calibers from various ranges. Thats either the same or better quality research than most police organizations produce, other than pre-Trump FBI.

Sheriff should be fired, its his job to know.
