Ok. So the police, whose job it is to protect the public, should just not go into an area where thugs are shooting at helicopters. Just cede the area and allow the thugs to operate. Sure why not.

Or allow them to do their job but with the added complication of dodging news copters. There’s limited airspace, let’s add a few more copters to the mix, especially if they’re not part of the operation. What could go wrong?

The press can do their job without interfering with police operations, they do not need to be shoulder to shoulder with them.

Hold on a sec....the USSC has already ruled that police have no legal obligation to protect you.

And I will remind you that in seval cases over last weekend they stood by and watched looting.....

Today was about “showing who’s boss”....and not about “keeping the peace”.....

The only thing as is going to restore order is a curfew and the national guard

Someone said there was restricted airspace due to safety concerns, and implied this is why no news choppers were allowed into the area.

Since a LEO chopper can be shot down as easily as news chopper, what happened to the safety issue?

Would the concern for safety not be for those on the ground where the aircraft would crash, as well as those in the aircraft?
