LAPD And Special Forces Conduct Military Maneuvers In The Skies Above Downtown LA
January 25, 2012 11:46 PM

LOS ANGELES (CBS) — The Los Angeles Police Department teamed with military special operation forces Wednesday evening to conduct multi-agency tactical exercises in the skies above downtown LA.

Many questioned what was going on Wednesday night as a Black Hawk helicopter and four OH-6 choppers – or “Little Birds” – flew over the city, at one point hovering just above the US Bank building downtown and later flying low over the Staples Center as the Lakers played inside.

Someone could be seen sitting inside an open chopper with his legs hanging off the side.

Sky9 spotted the Black Hawk in the dark, making what appeared to be a drop off at a park before quickly ascending back into the air.

Many wondered Thursday night about the safety of such drastic maneuvers being conducted over an urban area.

The LAPD said safety precautions were taken to prevent risk to the general public, as well as the military personnel involved.

Similar exercises have been seen in Miami and Boston.

Using heavily populated U.S. cities for special forces "training exercises" coordinated with local PD? Sounds legitimate to me.. :roll:

Notice the touch and goes on Bank rooftops? :twisted:

Fighting in Metroplex areas sounds fun to
the SS EinsatzGruppen.

The problem comes when the wehrmacht has to come in and stay with
boots on the ground.

And don't even talk about the periphery...

[Chief Warrant Officer David] Duran said the military chooses training environments based on what they might be facing in the near future.

“If it’s a mountainous terrain, they go to the mountains; if it’s a desert terrain, they use the desert; if they’re in a coastal terrain, they use the coast,” said Duran. “If it’s an urban terrain, you know, whatever's needed.”

Oh yeah, this is routine. Pay no attention folks, this is for your own safety. :roll:
