An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house"

Cool...
This one goes out to all the small government, privacy loving, Republicans out there, supposedly hating invasive big brother tactics and representing the values of the American heartland.
Would be much appreciated if you could have a word with your people about this.
This first thing you should do when going protesting, is to leave your phone at home.

though the actual audio sounds like they're making a joke, they could very well have the plates and do that

That's in LA. It doesn't count. They're not people. /sarcasm
Conservatives are unironically like this. They cheer when we have earthquakes and fires.

I'm an American, but my only experience with LA was traveling through for 2 days about 10 years ago. AKA no experience with LA.
This action appears to be originated from LAPD and therefore the local LA government. I have always considered LA to be deeply blue, and would therefore think that their local LA government would be Democrat, not Republican.
So should this not be the local blue voting populace having a word with their blue elected politicians?
The police are violent thugs everywhere, not just Republican cities and states.
It's because they have almost complete immunity from being prosecuted for wrongdoing and also, well, they are incredibly well armed and often use their monopoly on violence to threaten blue politicians.
I grew up in a city where cops didn't like their own chief of police because he wanted to drug test the force regularly after several got caught doing drugs on the job. The chiefs own force stalked him, harassed him, made violent threats against him and his family, until he was ran out of town. The police union sued him and said drug testing them violated their rights. The police union won in court. Those drug tests never happened.

And cover up your face and any visible tattoos or any other identifying features

That's kinda what I'm getting at. This isn't R vs D, and further perpetuating that is lending into the division of the country that the powers that be want.
This is class war, always has been. Police are the arm wielding power of the rich, used to push down the working class.

LAPD is better than it used to be but it’s still full of assholes.
LASD has been worse and probably still is.

Having a small faraday bag around is useful too, that's what I do.

Those Republicans should just think of a practical 2A air defense solution

Talking a whole lot of shit for someone riding around in a machine that will find literally any excuse to break down. Helicopters are sketchy as fuck, and even if you manage to autorotate perfectly to try and recover from a stall, you're still liable to suffer severe or fatal injuries. It's super easy to crash due to human error or some kind of mechanical failure.

As someone who lives in Hurricane Alley, have you tried just not living where earthquakes happen?
That seems to be the standard response of those in California when a hurricane hits my area...

Interesting that a Californian making a callous comment about living in hurricane country is somehow equivalent to the conservative media industry absolutely cheering bloodshed any time natural disasters strike us.
If California celebrated like this any time, much less every time, a natural disaster hit somewhere else it would have its own dedicated conservative channel playing it on loop.
I’ve lived through multiple hurricanes because I haven’t always lived in California. People from everywhere say that stupid shit about hurricane prone areas. Take the chip off your shoulder.

It's more than a callous comment. It is the epitome of victim blaming, and the fact that you are attempting to make apologies for it is telling.

Go have this fight with someone that wants to have it and didn’t make it clear that kind of behavior isn’t alright. Maybe somewhere other than on a thread about cops threatening to come assault protesters in their homes.

LAPD is notoriously corrupt and vile even among other police peers and has been for a long time. Its only competitor is the NYPD

A well kept helicopter is a reliable machine as any other, but it's true that it's probably a civil heli with extra cop stuff, ergo easy to down with some fuckery.
