They're going to act like an occupying army and treat the civilian population like a hostile force that's out to kill them on a daily basis. Which is exactly how you get cops choking petty scofflaws to death, shooting unarmed teenagers, and training loaded carbines on anything that moves.

The police were very nice to the protestors today. A supervisor thanked one of their leaders for being nice. There were only about 40 people max protesting. I didn't get to see Al Sharpton but I did visit the QT finally and the spot where Michael Brown was shot.

Cythereal posted:A lot, notably persistent and endemic problems with race and authoritarianism that people have been trying to pretend don't exist for decades in a political environment where half the country takes Rorschach's line "Not even in the face of armageddon, never compromise" as Godly wisdom. And a miles long list of other things. I suppose "I don't know where to begin" would have been more accurate.

A drone becomes self aware and screams I AM THE LAW and blows up a crowd of people. Don't worry folks we've got it under control; it will run out of gas soon.

St. Louis City and St. Louis County are separate completely. St. Louis county is divided into cities, each with their own department, but the county PD has jurisdiction over those areas as well. There are cities that are less than a mile wide with under 10 police, example Winchester. It's the most loving retarded concept I have ever witnessed.

It sounds like your typical county -> city setup except they usually call county police sheriffs.

Ahh... and that's why it was so promptly removed from youtube. Hopefully someone mirrored that video to send around to his department and whatnot. Or maybe some media since apparently the police are A-OK with that sort of thing. Solkanar512 posted:Yup. Which is bullshit, helicopter pilots know how to stay out of the way.

It's only to 3,000ft MSL, so it's a helicopter ban. I don't believe directly-controlled radio aircraft are subject to NOTAM orders.

ReidRansom posted:Are quadcopters and the like covered under FAA rules yet or is that all still grey? Not to my understanding, quadrocopters are just R/C aircraft which aren't FAA licensed and don't follow their rules. You still aren't allowed to fly them if it interferes with real FAA traffic, so they might be able to ding you with that if you're flying in an area with police air traffic and stuff. Or if you exceed the 400' flight limit. Realistically you're probably pretty likely to get away with it but cops can always find a way to use the legal system to gently caress with you.
