All due respect, but the city of Los Angeles has had nightly curfews, ordered by the Mayor herself, from 8pm to 6am for the last week covering a 6 square mile area, patrolled by LAPD, Sheriffs, National Guard, and the Marines to quell the previously nightly rioting, that consisted of torching of Waymo self driving cars, looting of business (including an Apple Store), and assaulting of LEO by very unpeaceful protesters.For the benefit of those with an extremely restricted media input, you'll never hear this on your information source, but no-one supports the activities that have you all excited, and they only happened to a very limited extent in a small area.
But hey .. who wants to let facts get in the way when you want to whip up hysteria.
Comparatively, it is a small area of the United States, but that is where the Predator was also assigned to assist with aerial surveillance, not spying. Every liberal politician (Mayor and Governor) specifically stated that anyone participating in violence of any kind would be held accountable and punished to the fullest extent of the law. Aerial surveillance can certainly assist in gathering evidence and assisting in the apprehension of the guilty. The police alone did not have the manpower to arrest those breaking the law, while still maintaining order. They were vastly outnumbered, and the rest of the City of Los Angeles was completely without police resources because all the police had been diverted to the downtown rioting.
