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.

Shouting from a helicopter "Please disperse because we'll come to your house and murder your families if you don't" sounds like an actionable threat. And helicopters are difficult to fly on a good day. Would be a shame if someone up there had an accident.

I don’t know about you but if I’m on the ground (protesting or not) the last thing I want is a helicopter coming down anywhere near me.
