There is no way a helicopter crew can know they have been shot at unless there are bullet holes in the aircraft when they land.
There are no statements that there were bullet holes in the helicopters, only that the crowd had been shooting at them.
I am sure people can draw their own conclusions.
Didn't the Police in London have footage from the helicopter of rioters firing at their helicopter during the riots there some years back?

Yep, thinking rioters are not shooting at helecopters is delusional.

Tuesday night updates...
Anonymous released the address of Jon Belmar the County Police Chief earlier today.
It was the wrong address.
A police family in Florissant, Missouri (north of Ferguson) was evacuated from their home today after Anonymous hackers wrongly ID’d the man as the shooter of Michael Brown.

Is it just me, or with all the rioting that's happening (I would say recently, but I just recently started paying attention, so I dunno), a sign that something just ain't right?
If it's with People, Cops, Government, or what, I dunno.
Also, I thought with the other thread title that someone went Disney Princess all over some cops.

Nothing at all unusual about that, the FAA does it pretty often. The last thing you want is police helicopters, news helicopters, and whatever random idiot decided to fly by and take a look all packed into a fairly small area, it's just begging to have a collision and get even more people killed.

Perfectly understandable... but, the communication strategy by the powers that be is left... wanting.
Protesting is still active... here's a good site with vines/youtubes:

How is the communication lacking? It's right here: http://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_4_2599.html and if you're a pilot you're expected to check for notifications like this before taking off. It doesn't need to be broadcast to non-pilots because it has absolutely no effect on you unless you're planning to fly through or near that area.

I meant in general... sorry.
One example is that the police department were willing to release the name of the officer today. But, since there's been credible threats, that's not going to happen anytime soon.
I completely understand why they changed their minds, but the PR aspect of the STL PD handling this is taking some serious criticisms here...

"A police officer encounters two people, including Brown, on the street near an apartment complex in Ferguson."
"One of the men allegedly pushed the officer back into his squad car and a struggle begins, authorities state."
This is really all the explanation I needed. If a police officer approaches you and anything is alleged other than "one of the men allegedly did everything the officer said" than I think you probably need shot.
Anybody that thinks looting and rioting is ok, as a form of protest needs their head checked. Anyone caught looting and rioting probably needs shot.
Anybody that opens their mouth to an officer to say anything other than "yes, sir/maam/officer." probably needs beaten with a nightstick, and then probably shot.
That community has only made it worse for themselves, causing damage to infrastructure that will only make the place worse to live in.
It is not your right as an American citizen to question a police officer who is essentially a representation of law which makes order in this country for 99% of us. The police are not your enemy, if you see them as such then you are probably a criminal or need your head checked and maybe also need beaten with a nightstick, tased, and/or shot.
There are bad apples here and there in law enforcement. But entirely too many cases of "this man/women was acting like an idiot and then an officer responded excessively". If you are acting like an idiot towards law enforcement you probably deserve whats coming to you.
Obey the law, work, advance your life, and maybe if you ever work hard enough to become a lawyer or politician you can open your face politely to suggest how to make things better and people will listen.
"Did you hear? The police shot M. Brown?".
"Oh yeah? Lets go down the local market break in all the windows, steal everything, and maybe set the place on fire."
No.. just no.

Considering the only reason you have rights as an American Citizen is because people said "Feth You!" to the British Government, this is actually kind of hilarious.

There's also the fact, I guess, that police "should no better". They're not random thugs- they're our trained protectors, thus when they act a fool it's more noteworthy.

In the Travyrn Martin (Sorry about spelling) Case, it wasn't a police officer, so while police-being-idiots can be a thing, it wasn't in that case. Also, while no info has been provided, if one of the kids pushed the cop into the car, that's not the policeman doing a bad job either, that's a kid being a "smart guy".
As for the color issue, shouldn't a life being ended prematurely, no matter the color of skin of either people involved, be tragic?
