Multiple videos have been posted online showing what uploaders described as hockey fans destroying a Los Angeles Police Department drone outside the Staples Center Friday night after the LA Kings won the NHL's Stanley Cup.

Whoever was piloting the drone was an idiot.

Skynet might be aware but it didn’t count on that.

Drones are dangerous, even small ones. Whoever was controlling it didn’t care if people got hurt by it.

If the drone could be taken out with a thrown shoe, or even a few of them, I’d say that he was flying it a bit too low.

First of all, how could you possibly defend the reckless pilot of that drone? He didn't need to fly that low to get intelligence.

Secondly, it was a wadded up T-shirt that brought it down, not a shoe!

Gotta hand it to the Mexicans.

Doesn't matter what it is --they love L.A. sports.

Hope they don’t take out any more drones with the 21 gun salute.

I will tolerate a drone in a public area, as long as it exhibits no aggressive actions or does not pose a threat to me or my family.

But if I see a drone over my property, whether it is aggressive or irregardless of who it belongs to, I will take it out.

Period.

Consequences be damned.

I have tolerated a lot crap out of this current government.

I am out of tolerance.

FUBO.
