Hovering for extended periods is already a bad idea. Ask any helicopter pilot.

I don't know where you got this but it's incorrect. Source: I'm a helicopter flight engineer.

Also those rotors are producing so much downwash neither cardboard nor balloons would ever get near them. It's super dumb of them to be hovering below the rooftops in a city where poles and wires could be (especially at night), but that's about it.

I don't know what the height velocity curve looks like for a blackhawk but that seems likely to be in one of the "engine failure is unrecoverable" zones of it?

The height/velocity curve for a slick blackhawk wouldn't be too bad and if they poo poo an engine they would be able to land relatively safely from that altitude, or depending on the area in front of them, get to safe single engine airspeed.

Cardboard balloons or what have you could still get up there because the rotor system is recirculating all that air.

A Black Hawk and a Lakota don't put it put out as much rotor wash as a chinook so it's a little different ballgame.

Dude I'm a flight engineer on an H-60. I've seen random pieces of debris get recirculated into the rotor system but it usually happens on the ground. In a hover the downwash is nuts.

a boiling hot summer might not cause tensions between the occupiers and the occupied to dry up like a raisin in the sun, but instead explode.

a protestor died today in Bakersfield after being run over by a white nationalist domestic abuser. now i know what you're thinking, but no, he was not a cop! he was just defended and released uncited by the cops. footage shows them all hanging out, having a smoke, while the protestor (yeah, a black guy, good guess) is still under the car crying for help. because they know that the driver was doing their work, and they hope to encourage other people to take the same matter into their hands.

stories like that, besides leaving me emotionally wrecked an hour at a time, also make me suspect people will keep having things to be angry about. unless all news outlets refuse to report on them AND tiktok gets shut down.

Which is a sideshow compared to the GOP's actual "saying the quiet part out loud" voter suppression efforts anyway.

I firmly believe these motherfuckers will shoot people at at least one polling station because they won't accept someone's ID and there will be a scuffle that leads to shots fired.

Security Forces troops that deploy with AMC (Air Mobility Command) assets (cargo and refueling aircraft) when they’re going to land somewhere that has poor security. They secure and protect the AMC assets at less than absolutely secured places. We (The USAF) often fly these aircraft to places with little to no organic security. Think humanitarian airlift, a lot of times in MENA and South/Central America.

It's this. They're just cops who fly with the aircraft to provide security. That's it. They jerk themselves off because they're the only cops authorized to fly.

I read a pretty decent article the other day about just that. Like the meme below your post says, they'd be subject to a form of UCMJ, etc. Not too bad an idea.

Seattle goon checking in. What I'm worried about is ICE and the extra powers they have within 100 miles of the border and the coastline. The Army signaled clearly that it wasn't getting involved but I'm still worried that elements like ICE would be able to cow resistance quickly if they switched to live ammunition.Then everyone would start shooting at everyone else and that's the end of my old neighborhood.

The history books for the next generation are going to be really interesting if they get it right - how an extant cultural and moral divide in this country was exponentially increased and exposed by the advent of social media to the point that a conspiracy theorist faux-rich mentally ill president used it to shove his way straight to civil war.

The CHAZ could stick around or fade away, but I have a feeling that if a real no poo poo Civil War happens, it will be the Flashpoint. And thanks for those capitals, autocorrect, I love looking like I have dementia.
