They don’t have enough people to get to us all unless we are compliant.

This is incorrect. They absolutely have enough people to monitor the feeds for detected people and collect people up individually after the fact, which is exactly what the speakers/statements are alluding to.

This is why "AI" bullshit is bullshit. This is why cameras on literally every traffic light is bad. This is what a lot of people have been screaming since 9/11. With the TSA and other organizations collecting information all willy nilly.

Don't know, but it's very easily done via LRAD. which the LAPD is known to have a "unknown quantity" of.

Note it's secondary usage as a "sonic weapon". [Self defense tips] (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3sqIvak-4Ek)

Or have we lived long enough to see the 4-chan meme of identifying as an attack helicopter become a real thing‽

Literally anything hits the tail rotor and it's a spinning brick. .308, a drone, steel cable, Kevlar nets, whatever. Those things are hovering death traps

Nah, just about any rifle round can. It's a matter of hitting it somewhere important though. Most people can't hit anything at any meaningful distance. So now you're going to shoot into the air, miss the helicopter and take out someone a couple miles away as collateral.

A few cheap laser pointers from Walmart or the discount store and that thing will either be landing immediately, leaving the AO, or crashing violently.

But, you know, you should never do this. Or whatever I'm supposed to say here to prevent the secret police from kicking my door in.

The main rotor blades can take a surprising amount of abuse.
I found it even more surprising how much stuff can actually pass between the blades.

Not necessarily. If they start taking any small arms fire I expect they'll leave. 5.56 could crack the windscreen or injure the occupants. A bigger round would be more effective if you actually want to hit the engine or transmission and actually take it down, yes. You could probably do it with anything .300 or larger (7.62 NATO, etc.) if you hit it just right or multiple times. Or yeah go for something big like .50 BMG and hit it once somewhere in the meaty bits. But rifles in .50 are often bigger and more awkward to move around.
