Chris was wondering why they gave him this specific footage, since they didn't need to. The answer is: They're proud of it. They also edited this footage into a clip reel to be shared with local press. This is what they think makes helicopter use look *good*. www.facebook.com/watch/?v=276...

That first Brockton file? It's copaganda, plain and simple. Titled: "May 19, 2026: Air 4 assists in Brockton Patrol." TL;DR: There was a young brown man joyriding on some kind of e-bike, and they brought in a state fucking helicopter to track him down. 4/?

So they spent thousands of dollars on air wing time; involved at least a half dozen different cruisers; drove recklessly on the streets from at least Milton to Brockton for 1hr+, in order to tackle and arrest one guy on a moped, who they initially saw... riding a moped through a park with a friend.

Literally, the reason they glommed onto one guy is because he rolled through a stop sign, at a 4-way stop *with no cars, pedestrians, or other vehicles present*. That's the reason they started following him: for doing something that many bikers would safely do routinely. (He even slowed to check!)
