An interesting story for sure, and finally one that fits this AMA themed thread topic. lol. Odd that the police in the heli felt threatened by the drone above them, but then they or some other cops felt the need to fire something at the drones. Seems as if they might have endangered their own co-workers to make a point. I'm sure there is more to the story, like why one pilot would get charged with stalking, and one with reckless endangerment. Obviously there are both sides to the story, and then the truth. Regardless, it was probably reckless for the MR pilots to be up although it's not clear if they went up while the heli and aircraft were already up, or the LE aircraft showed up while the MR pilots were already there. Hopefully we get the full (or as much of the story) as possible at some point. It's not like the police have ever overstepped bounds in bringing charges they ultimately were unable to sustain in the first place.
