It seemed a bit over-the-top at the time. Perhaps it was actually prescient.

Machine gun fire from military helicopters flying over downtown Miami Fl
Our overlords are almost ready.
Just practicing for those who refuse to bow down to the Lord Obama
"ill say this much for you people....i was in the army for 8 years and my job was being a blackhawk helicopter gunner. never in my career did we EVER go into a populated city for any type of gun related training. i was stationed in savannah GA so u can guess that it was nothng but city. wed have to fly out a good ways to an aerial gunnery range to get qualified. if they are using blank fire over the city, its because they are preparing to fire on city dwellers.the army trains how it fights". . . .
bump
Bttt
And what ?? .. the survivors go to FEMA camps ?
Have they practiced that one yet ?
FEMA , where the barbed wire is to keep population IN ,
and NOT to keep trespassors OUT !!
This is justvtraining for use outside the United States. The Army would never fire on a US City.
wink—wink
Canada is looking pretty good right now...
The Commander in Chief has a pretty thin skin and likely thinks criticism should be a crime.
I got this in an email this morning.....along with this website:

Nothing to see here. Move along.
And our government is not getting ready for the New World Order. /sarcasm
Not to worry. The news reporter on the vid assured me:
1. It’s required training.
2. They are for preparing for overseas engagements.
3. They’re making sure their equipment is in good condition.
Whew. It’s good to know there are so many legitimate reasons for this drill. For a moment or two, I was worried.
I don’t think there just happened to be a Miami Heat game going on in the midst of this training exercise around the arena. I think the simulated “event” they’re preparing for is an attack on the Super Bowl.
MIAMI — Miami-Dade police are warning residents that military helicopters may be buzzing their neighborhoods sometime soon.
But it's no reason to panic. Police said Monday that multiple agencies will be providing support for a joint military training exercise somewhere in the area.
hope~:” Canada is looking pretty good right now...”
I don’t think so .. ask Randy Quaid !
At least ,after Canadian officials required gun registration , they later burned the records !
Odd how the MSM isn't showing any concern...
Libloather ~:” MIAMI — Miami-Dade police are warning residents that military helicopters may be buzzing their neighborhoods sometime soon.

So does that mean that I can practice too, by shooting blanks back at them ?
Apparently, sequestration is not that big of a concern to the DoD.
which tells me THEY ARE THE ONES PLANNING an attack during the superbowl, expect lot’s of false flag op’s to cement their desire for Gun Confiscation with the American People.
THis must be done soon, before the bottom falls out of the Country. The debt deal is where it will happen, Obama wants to shut down the government and force the 50 million on food stamps to start rioting and violence. That will give him the ammunition he needs to declare Martial Law. I need a new tin foil hat.
Well, there was a Heat game going on at the time..... in Boston.
Imagine the MSM reaction if there were a Republican in the White House.
At this point, the tin foil hats are more befitting the sheeple who put anything past the demonic men and women who hold the reigns of power these days.
Detroit summer of 67, took us there to fly over the riots. Entire 17AHC, from Ft.Riley, Kansas. Others on here were sent in with ground units. It has happened before.
The federal government is funneling all kinds of money into these local police departments. Payback will come. The news report did state that this was a joint exercise with the police and military.
Hmmm...
Don’t know how relevant this is, but Delaware is a rather odd duck when it comes to County level authority. I was born and raised in Newcastle County (the northernmost) and can never once recall seeing anything like a Sheriff’s deputy: only State Troopers.
Delaware is a small state, but it’s three individual counties are so big it makes the notion of “local” law enforcement largely irrelevant.
Not saying this isn’t something nefarious, but it seems to me taking the “arrest authority” from County level guys *might* be roughly analogous to Sarah Palin taking the same authority from the old pre-statehood Alaska militia.
The drill is happening live during the report. The reporter says at the :33 mark, “the Miami Heat game is about to be let out at the Triple-A, which is nearby”.
The Heat played in Boston this afternoon. The video isn’t from this afternoon. It’s probably from Friday night, when the Heat were hosting the Pistons.
I wonder what the headlines would be were Bush pulling this garbage while in office.
Paranoid whacks!
Did you ever think there might be a unpermitted lemonade stand, or a lose labradoodle?
Think how one chopper could handle threats to the public while protecting those that protect and serve.
Ping.

So, I guess it is OK to practice anti rotor-wing exercises. You never know when terrorists might seize control of hippityhoppers and start shooting at taxpayers with confiscated NY state gunz.
BTW, anti-air against hippityhoppers is quite easy no noise, no smoke, no heat signature.
See, we can both scare each other...........
Which is in New Orleans this year and New Jersey next year. Which Super Bowl are they preparing for?
Protect and serve...I don’t think so.
Protect and serve...I don’t think so.
The City of Miami allows this?
Interesting.

This is a new one for the books. Pushing the bar forward.
First one is a UH-60 followed by 2 OH-58s over interstate 395.
I did a YouTube search and found several videos of military training in Miami over the past few years involving Blackhawks and “gunfire” ... from May 8, 2012, April 18, 2011. Also, on the 25th of this month in LA, and in Chicago Aptil 17, 2012.
This isn’t new. It is a little disconcerting though ...
A large-scale drill centered around an indoor arena one week before a Super Bowl played in a closed-roof stadium would suggest they’re preparing for New Orleans. I imagine they’d train differently for a situation in an open-air stadium.
I’m not predicting an attack. That’s just my best guess as to what they’re training for.
Blackhawk, not Apache.
I find it very curious that we can hear the gunfire very distinctly, but not the helicopters themselves. I crewed the OH-6 and later the OH-58 in the late 60’s and early 70’s and helicopters are not the quietest aircraft around.
nothing like hot brass down the back of your shirt while having a night on the town...

What this shows is the local police will be with the army against the people.
The highest comment when I saw it first was from one Mr. Raymond Wilson:

Interesting.
If they're shooting blanks, they're probably raining brass shell casings down on the populace. That could cause some damage, all by itself.
Also, it would be interesting to examine one of the shell cases. Blank cartridges that I've seen have the case mouth crimped closed.
