I can't find a picture or any reference, but many years ago didn't a UK, west midlands area Police BO105 get pictured being used as a crowd control measure?

did this happen at all?? The video doesn't show the clear and present danger, if it even existed.
What happens if the police issues an order to disperse the protest?

Protesters will likely now carry a couple chestnuts with about half a meter of fishing line or lock wire - be interesting to see how effective "dusting" people off is when that wraps around the T/R.
New trends in America.......home of the brave. |
"Protesters"already do that and more....like Lasers, firework rockets, sling shots with marbles.....and the occasional firearm.....in what the Lefties call mostly peaceful demonstrations.

Like this....for example?
All of a sudden....a bit of dust seems pretty minor. |
Maybe that should have been done at the Capital on the 6th of January.

Would you say the same for Portland, Seattle, Kenosha, Milwaukee as well or London?

An observation tool disabled by collecting various low grade bits of conker, marbles, fishing line and string is no longer an observation tool..
There is a reason sensible police aviators keep at 1,000 feet.... it maintains their viability, the high ground. A police helicopter needs space to be viable, on the ground it is the same as a car or truck. If the police authorities want a fighting machine to do the work of officers on the ground their should mirror the Turkish Polis and buy ATAK or go for an Apache. Beating up your fellow citizens with rotor wash just because they have a view opposed to your own is still beating up citizens. That is supposed to be the preserve of "nasty" nations and not one to be aligned with the land of the free. |

On the face of it this vid does demonstrate one thing.
Using the down wash from an A*/Squirrel isn’t effective in dispersing what look like a fairly placid bunch of protesters (they look like they’re just stood on the land - not hunkered down or rioting). This is defo not gonna work on a more motivated bunch of actual peace threatening rioters. So yeah - bring a Merlin next time fellas. Better yet - just let them stand there, get real police to deal with the dispute, and save your machine for more suitable activity. |
A well laden Chinook or Sea Stallion would be far more effective than a Squirrel.
If you dangled metal cables from the three cargo hooks while hovering in the dust and touched some of the crowd with them even very gently....you would have the World's largest Taser! |
Absolutely. Best nip those dissenters in the bud. They might be a threat to democracy.
