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.

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

LASD has been worse and probably still is.

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

That's in LA. It doesn't count. They're not people. /sarcasm

though the actual audio sounds like they're making a joke, they could very well have the plates and do that

This would likely be done through cell phone tracking devices like a stingray, not plates. I don't know how many people are in their cars at a protest.

Those Republicans should just think of a practical 2A air defense solution

Let them prove it and out themselves
