Its time we ban news organizations from broadcasting police chases live in my opinion.

Not likely, but if a news chopper had run into a police chopper tracking the suspect I wonder what kind of heat we might see.

Plenty, of course. But since police helicopters fly at 400' AGL, and the news copters fly at 1,000' AGL, how is that going to happen? (another rhetorical question, sorry.)

The reason that news helicopters don't "run into" police helicopters is that police helicopters are far more likely to hit the ground 400 feet below than they are to rapidly climb 600 feet and hit a news bird. Get it now?

If the chopper’s had fallen on a school, or a packed expressway.....
