We usually only focus on LAPD helicopters, but there are over half a dozen law enforcement organizations regularly operating helicopter patrols above LA! This is what they're up to on a given night, colored by department (This was October 2nd 2026)

Officers deployed less lethal foam rounds to no effect. The suspect charged and struck an officer with the metal bar, and an officer involved shooting occurred. The suspect was struck by gunfire and taken into custody.

Arizona is one of only two states that don’t observe Daylight Saving Time (DST). The Navajo Nation, which exists mostly inside Arizona, does observe DST. The Hopi Reservation, which exists entirely inside the Navajo Nation, does not observe DST.

Remember when teams didn't want to sign Colin Kaepernick because they didn't want the distraction? Andy Reid just took five straight minutes of questions for a practice squad kicker who missed more than 25% of his FGs the last time he was in the league.

#Chiefs HC Andy Reid faced five straight minutes of questions about Justin Tucker today, including what message his signing sends to female fans of the team. "He's done his suspension. Took care of his business there. I'll leave it at that." Full back-and-forth exchange below:

Malcolm Gladwell just published a new book and gone on one popular show after another arguing that the U.S. needs to massively expand the profitable police surveillance state. The entire argument is based on an embarrassing factual error.

Currently, 4,000 LAPD employees have access to search the ALPR database. There’s no serious process to vet which of these employees actually need access. LAPD requires no external, independent auditing of these ALPR database searches.

Mississippi's attorney general says a Senatobia police officer was justified in the June shooting death of a 1-year-old boy while responding to a shoplifting call. The conclusion of the state's investigation follows months of mourning and calls for justice. cnn.it/4z0O5X6

He Went to Document an Anti-ICE Protest. He Left Without an Eye.

He Went to Document an Anti-ICE Protest. He Left Without an Eye.

Since federal agents surged into L.A. last year, at least five people have been shot in the eye at protests, with lasting consequences.

Not a single LAPD received a sustained complaint over cops violating protesters or press at last year’s ICE protests. This is despite the federal courts finding so much abuse against press that they issued a restraining order against the LAPD.
