The helicopter itself made these threats?
Don’t know, but it’s very easily done via LRAD. which the LAPD is known to have a “unknown quantity” of.
Note it’s secondary usage as a “sonic weapon”. [Self defense tips] (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3sqIvak-4Ek)
“So right off the bat I just wanted to say that if for some reason you think I shouldn’t be helping protestors protect themselves from non-lethal weapons, I don’t fucking care.”
Gotta love this for guy saying exactly what he means.
Also : possible to redirect the sound toward the emitter using a parabolic object. Video on the 'tubes.
Whoosh
I was a juror on a trial where a camera was used to record a purported crime from a helicopter. The camera quality was no joke, I could make out the individual buttons on the guy’s shirt. I don’t doubt they could ID people from the chopper.
