“This is a chilling statement,” he told Mother Jones. “Even if it were a joke, it was clearly designed to make the public afraid to exercise its First Amendment rights to protest and to hold government officials, including LAPD officers, accountable for their actions.”
Fuck this timeline. Resist. They don’t have enough people to get to us all unless we are compliant.
They don’t have enough people to get to us all unless we are compliant.
This is incorrect. They absolutely have enough people to monitor the feeds for detected people and collect people up individually after the fact, which is exactly what the speakers/statements are alluding to.
This is why “AI” bullshit is bullshit. This is why cameras on literally every traffic light is bad. This is what a lot of people have been screaming since 9/11. With the TSA and other organizations collecting information all willy nilly.
It can get cold if you’re protesting at night, so don’t forget to keep warm by wearing a face covering 😊
Remember the government will profile you and harass you until you become the image they profiled you as.

The helicopter itself made these threats?
Yeah, our government is like Cars.
Don’t know, but it’s very easily done via LRAD. which the LAPD is known to have a “unknown quantity” of.
Note it’s secondary usage as a “sonic weapon”. [Self defense tips] (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3sqIvak-4Ek)
“So right off the bat I just wanted to say that if for some reason you think I shouldn’t be helping protestors protect themselves from non-lethal weapons, I don’t fucking care.”
Gotta love this for guy saying exactly what he means.
Whoosh
Out of sheer curiosity, what kinds of rounds could feasibly take down a helicopter? Is .50 cal the minimum?
Nah, just about any rifle round can. It’s a matter of hitting it somewhere important though. Most people can’t hit anything at any meaningful distance. So now you’re going to shoot into the air, miss the helicopter and take out someone a couple miles away as collateral.
This is true. Droning tail rotors doesn’t risk missing just the helicopter falling on someone.
I just realized that a couple of drones in the airspace is probably sufficient to deter a helicopter.
