It's like nothing I've ever seen. In my neighborhood, we get worked up when we see low-flying helicopters, signalling police are on the lookout for someone.
These are great, depressing shots. Any idea what the target was supposed to have done? I presume the police had a warrant? Or not?
Just stunning. Something out of a movie, except it's real.
The low-flying helicopters (and drones) stalked us in 2020, got to where I could identify LMPD's helicopter by sound alone, which probably has something to do with my reaction to them now.
I wanted to get closer, for some better closeups but right as I come out of the house with the camera an unmarked car pulled up and blocked the street. I've kept checking all the local news outlets but there's been absolutely nothing about it, so can't really say what it was about or whether there was a warrant. Was initially worried that it was ICE but once I got a better look at them realized it was just LMPD up to their usual hijinks. Did seem out of character for them to announce themselves like that, the raid I watched out my kitchen window a few years ago didn't announce themselves beforehand.
Wish it was a movie, didn't need the extra adrenaline.
