That’s racist.
dumbasses are lucky they didn’t get shot at
A helicopter painted black is not an odd appearance.
They’re not even trying to hide what they’re preparing for anymore.
Subjugating a population takes planning.
Not to mention cattle cars and barbed wire.
This might have seemed exciting to me once. Way back when my government didn’t make me feel like a mouse that’s nose to nose with a rattler.
Early one Sunday (shortly after 9/11) I watched a Black Hawk helicopter fly low around buildings in downtown Seattle. It was surreal. I’m used to low-flying aircraft, though, because my father was in the Army pretty much all his life and we lived on or near a lot of military bases. I’m even used to early morning explosions that shake windows. This time, though, it looked so out of place considering where it was.
Were they blaring “Ride of the Valkyries” from loudspeakers?

Yeah. . .how dare they practice their mission. I mean, come on, when they go into combat they better never have experience flying in urban areas. Let them practice over flat terrain in the desert, that way they will be prepared to go to combat and know how best to navigate and maneuver in built-up areas. (Not all wars will be in Afghanistan).
As someone's already said, they're not even trying to hide it anymore.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Why Minnesota? Practically the entire state is in the tank for Obummer.
“Lynda Hanner, who lives on the 27th floor of City Walk Condominiums at 66 E. Ninth St., was surpised to see a helicopter flying just outside her window.”
That would be awesome to see!!
“It was very frightening. They were playing dangerous games in my back yard, and I didn’t appreciate it.”
Get used to it.
“He was later informed that it was a training exercise involving Homeland Security”
Why does that set off my Bovine Excrement detector?
We had this a week or so ago in north San Diego County. About 30 minutes of nonstop helicopters flying by, low and invisible. They seemed to be circling around. I thought it must be something big, but there was never anything on the news about it.
FYI
Amen my brutha, just ask Michael Rivero..........
