Ground the choppers The LAPD's helicopter mania is both a policy disaster and a symbol of our malignant, badly functioning surveillance state.

LAPD choppers are a malignant nuisance. They're harbingers of surveillance, operated *continuously*—yet the city's own data show they raise stress, impair cognition and burn 100,000s of gallons of gas. The best part? there's no evidence they deter or reduce crime at all.

It's time to ground them.

Poe the cat yells loudly in the red light of the fire

He scratches at the door to be let out even though the sky is deep red

It’s everything I can do to keep him from rushing the door but he is not deterred.

The cat does not understand what fire is and refuses to be educated
