Protests in Los Angeles are ongoing, and as people continue to take to the streets, various levels of government are coming in to, well, stop them from doing that.

First, we had the local police, who spent their time shooting reporters and trying to kill people with horses. Then, the National Guard showed up. Now, we have the Marines and a curfew, so things are going just great.

The LAPD has also begun deploying helicopters to manage the protests — at least, that’s what they *say* they’re doing. However, video from the events shows that they’re not so much doing crowd control as they are doing crowdwork.
