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.

What about walkie talkies? Short wave radios? Older tech comms devices?

What about open source open hardware anti-air missiles?

One wonders just how viable the Ukranian strategy would be to take out LAPD choppers (when landed, of course).

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?

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

LAPD is better than it used to be but it’s still full of assholes.

LASD has been worse and probably still is.
