Would it be legal and moral for the sheriff to shoot the damned thing down?

It would be both legal and moral, but whoever did it would be prosecuted and jailed.
Good article by Rueters, can’t be posted.

highlights:
Mexican drug hitmen are shooting up houses and terrorizing remote farming towns on the U.S. border, forcing residents to leave...and guess where they’re going.
Local police have fled and many residents are seeking asylum in Texas or crossing the border
Rumors that drug gangs have given people living in El Porvenir two months to leave or be killed has left the town in a state of psychosis.
It is big time illegal to fire at any aircraft in the US just ask the FAA.
I know this may come as a shock to many here at FR, but we are actively helping the Government of Mexico fight this drug war the same way we helped Colombia. Earlier today Mexico arrested their number 1 heroin trafficker. The only reason he is under arrest is because CIA, NSA, DEA and who knows what other US agencies were able to track and pinpoint him.
Why on earth would we want to shoot down a Mexican helicopter that we paid for?
