Just sensationalist nonsense - “fake news”.
Thank God Trump has access to Twitter...

State Police ID troopers who died in the helicopter crash. Lt. H. Jay Cullen of Midlothian. Trooper-Pilot Berke M.M. Bates of Quinton.
I said good morning to one of the fallen today. He was working out of a temp office down the hall from mine. God bless him.
Very sad
Totally agree... nothing but a Clinton crony. He’s definitely one of the biggest crooks in modern US history.
The ground.
Photo shows them in a tree, no fire.
The witnessing of a helicopter going down under the apparent influence of a tail rotor failure does not support concluding a “sniper strike”, that’s logical absurdity at its finest, particularly given rotor crafts propensity to crash catastrophically under mechanical failures.
That wasn’t a “sniper”, it was just a guy with a gun shooting cops in ambush/close quarters. For petes sake get a damned dictionary and thesaurus and do a little research, words have meanings...
“Terry McAwful has cut police maintenance funds”
If it needs maintenance critical to flight sasety, the aircraft is grounded.
He’s not kidding, that’s exactly what he did.
The only one I have seen shows the tail rotor section only. Did your “Afghanistan sniper” source have more pics?
If the “alt right”, normal white people or just damned normal Americans are going to do marches they are going to have to assume and be vigilant that they are going to have idiots/infiltrators in their midst that do shit like throw up the “sieg heil salute” and bust a out various flags and symbols guaranteed to give the media a hate hard on.
There was a gathering similar to the Bundy situation out near my place in NV but the first thing the rancher looking for support did when the crowd started showing up was tell every one to leave all their Gadsden flags and rifles in their trucks or go home. They ended up getting their point across and getting the gov to back off AND not providing a spectacle the media could manipulate to their advantage.
Image is everything. You have to turn on the brain and look at any public event/discourse through the lens of “how can I exploit this for the advantage of the elite and ratings” from the standpoint of a media douchebag.
All of the opposition forces have funding and plan their actions with a careful choreography. Most of their ground troops either don’t have jobs or have sympathetic employers in the grievance industries or periferal infrastructure like graphics or scented candles etc... When they field a “protest” the coverage and outcome on the news is baked in.
We on the other hand tend to have jobs making major things or “getting shit done” and we generally end up on the streets pretty spontaneously when we’re at the end of our rope. We’re easy targets for the opposition to slide in a few plants who inevitably end up being the focus of the story when the news coverage comes on.
Hovering is what helicopters do.
This article states that the helicopter was indeed monitoring the protests, as some have thought,
They, the pilots had just dropped off McAuliffe when they were asked to surveillance the violence on the ground:
122 Bell Helicopter crashes since the year 2000 as of and per this article:
How heavy your heart must be.
Yeah, but he gives a “source”. ~ snicker~
