Cool…
This one goes out to all the small government, privacy loving, Republicans out there, supposedly hating invasive big brother tactics and representing the values of the American heartland.
Would be much appreciated if you could have a word with your people about this.
Checking out women sunbathing in backyards or other places.
Follow Hong Kong tactics and use umbrellas to shield from above.
Shouting from a helicopter “Please disperse because we’ll come to your house and murder your families if you don’t” sounds like an actionable threat. And helicopters are difficult to fly on a good day. Would be a shame if someone up there had an accident.
Tangling hazards
I don’t know about you but if I’m on the ground (protesting or not) the last thing I want is a helicopter coming down anywhere near me.
Green lasers. Everybody should have one.
Check comment above. This is a terrible idea. You’ll go from 2 stars to 5.
They have sonic weapons. They run over people with horses and armored vehicles.
But they won’t have copters to track you down and green lasers take out CCDs like nothing else. If they wanted to fly they shouldn’t have weaponized the sky and flight.
Those Republicans should just think of a practical 2A air defense solution

Can you imagine 6 dudes with AR-15s, nothing fancy, responding that that threat? One wonders what might happen.
If gta has taught me anything is that one well placed shot from a measly handgun can take down a chopper
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Even armored helicopters are very vulnerable, flying things cannot afford to be sturdy.
Flying oppressors beware, you live on borrowed time. Tail section, fuel tank, tangling hazards (steel wire spool, fast unspooling from above)
They made tge sky a weapon, take away the sky from everyone. Same with radios.
Would be much appreciated if you could have a word with your people about this.
I’m an American, but my only experience with LA was traveling through for 2 days about 10 years ago. AKA no experience with LA.
This action appears to be originated from LAPD and therefore the local LA government. I have always considered LA to be deeply blue, and would therefore think that their local LA government would be Democrat, not Republican.
So should this not be the local blue voting populace having a word with their blue elected politicians?
The police are violent thugs everywhere, not just Republican cities and states.
It’s because they have almost complete immunity from being prosecuted for wrongdoing and also, well, they are incredibly well armed and often use their monopoly on violence to threaten blue politicians.
I grew up in a city where cops didn’t like their own chief of police because he wanted to drug test the force regularly after several got caught doing drugs on the job. The chiefs own force stalked him, harassed him, made violent threats against him and his family, until he was ran out of town. The police union sued him and said drug testing them violated their rights. The police union won in court. Those drug tests never happened.
Bruh wow
That’s kinda what I’m getting at. This isn’t R vs D, and further perpetuating that is lending into the division of the country that the powers that be want.
This is class war, always has been. Police are the arm wielding power of the rich, used to push down the working class.
Police unions give unions a bad name. Fucking thugs.
LAPD is better than it used to be but it’s still full of assholes.
LASD has been worse and probably still is.
LAPD is notoriously corrupt and vile even among other police peers and has been for a long time. Its only competitor is the NYPD
LAPD is not under the control of any government. They have literal warring gang factions within the LAPD. It is an occupying junta force.
Threatened? So they didn’t ID them.
though the actual audio sounds like they’re making a joke, they could very well have the plates and do that
This would likely be done through cell phone tracking devices like a stingray, not plates. I don’t know how many people are in their cars at a protest.
That’s in LA. It doesn’t count. They’re not people. /sarcasm
Conservatives are unironically like this. They cheer when we have earthquakes and fires.
As someone who lives in Hurricane Alley, have you tried just not living where earthquakes happen?
That seems to be the standard response of those in California when a hurricane hits my area…
Interesting that a Californian making a callous comment about living in hurricane country is somehow equivalent to the conservative media industry absolutely cheering bloodshed any time natural disasters strike us. 🙄 If California celebrated like this any time, much less every time, a natural disaster hit somewhere else it would have its own dedicated conservative channel playing it on loop.
I’ve lived through multiple hurricanes because I haven’t always lived in California. People from everywhere say that stupid shit about hurricane prone areas. Take the chip off your shoulder.
It’s more than a callous comment. It is the epitome of victim blaming, and the fact that you are attempting to make apologies for it is telling.
Go have this fight with someone that wants to have it and didn’t make it clear that kind of behavior isn’t alright. Maybe somewhere other than on a thread about cops threatening to come assault protesters in their homes.
It’s a very personal issue for me.
I lost everything and had to start over with little more then the clothes on my back, and then to hear people say I should’ve just moved?
Did you hear that from the president and the press? Or just random assholes on the internet?
I’m someone that is from tornado alley. I celebrate when they get hit now because it means that they have to experience the consequences of their actions.
My family is still there and I hope they can get out but, most of the people I met their would shake your hand while stabbing people like me in the back.
You won’t have much of a choice when FEMA is gone. I mean, less and less people will have homes there anymore.
Right, because nobody lived here prior to the existence of FEMA.
I, for the life of me, cannot understand how people can look at the history of what our, and most other governments have done, and then say, “Hey, you know what? We need more of that!”
Yeah, it’s not like there’s a reason fewer and fewer insurance companies will write a policy in that state every year. It’s not like the property insurance rates are the highest in the country.
Let them prove it and out themselves
LOL
From the country meant to represent freedom. No more!
Never was
Wait wdym? Not even in the 18th-19th century?

correct, see for example the reactions to the US’s decision to invade and seize territory from Mexico, which was largely seen as a betrayal of liberal values that the country was supposedly founded on. Don’t worry, the US isn’t the only country to justify their revolution with promises of liberal ideals like freedom and equality only to expose their true priorities later (namely giving local colonial elites more power than those ruling monarchs in Europe). I recommend reading the chapter on Bolivarian revolutions from the history book Born in Blood and Fire: A Concise History of Latin America for more about the disappointments and failures of liberal revolutions to live up to their promises.
No, even in 1776, there were contemporaries who mocked a bunch of rich slave owners talking about freedom while stealing land from native americans. American freedom had always been the freedom for the ruling class to exploit the underclass.
