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.

Follow Hong Kong tactics and use umbrellas to shield from above.

What's wrong is that officers of the law are allowed to lie like that, yet still want to be respected.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago

Yeah, it's frustrating. We need to end Qualified Immunity pronto.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

In lying's defense, they shouldn't be respected when they say that regardless of its truthiness

LOL

From the country meant to represent freedom. No more!

Green lasers. Everybody should have one.

Check comment above. This is a terrible idea. You'll go from 2 stars to 5.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

But they won't have copters to track you down and green lasers take out CCDs like nothing else. If they wanted to fly they shouldn't have weaponized the sky and flight.

They have sonic weapons. They run over people with horses and armored vehicles.

Is it plausible this might cause the helicopter to crash somehow? I wouldn't want to risk that.

Edit: can't believe people be downvoting this. Y'all have no idea how catastrophic a helicopter crash could be. But if you're downvoting because you think the answer is obvious and I'm stupid, I respect that.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

No no, couldn't have that, would be a shame

a helicopter crash in a populated area has a high likelihood of collateral damage

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

They'd come kill you for that.

Checking out women sunbathing in backyards or other places.

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

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

What about open source open hardware anti-air missiles?

Threatened? So they didn't ID them.
