Let's Go Down the Rabbit Hole!

My husband thinks this was a practice run staged in an area of LA that resembles an area of interest in Venezuela. 
Notice that No traffic or pedestrians on the street and if you watch the camera pan up the street it appears that the traffic was being rerouted.

JMHO

Maybe, but some people from the military (in the comments) say this would never happen with training in a city with civilians below that could be harmed; the risk is too great.  They have abandoned cities out in the desert for training purposes.

I don't know, I'm just repeating what they said.
