I was recording some nearby fireworks tonight and this blueish purplish laser hit it at least 3 times, even after I moved much further away from the fireworks. The beam looked pretty wide from the ground and looked like it got more narrow and focused when it hit my Mavic.

I'm wondering:
What kind of laser hit my Mavic?
Why would someone do that? Police?
Could the multiple ~1 second direct lens hits have damaged my Mavic's camera? Everything seemed fine afterwards, though the focus did seem a bit wonky.
Near the end, you can even see the laser operator aiming almost directly up in the sky while trying to find my Mavic after I put it in "stealth mode" by disabling the front red LEDs. That can't have been safe for any manned aircraft in the air.
