Southpark is finally old enough that we went from "Simpsons did it" to "Southpark did it"
When contacted, Denver police admitted that the drone belonged to them and was part of a four-month first responder program, on the way to the scene of a call about a suicidal person near to the apartment.
Can someone tell me what a drone could do to help a suicidal person?
Record the flip, of course /s
Attach itself to the ground below and spin the rotors really fast to cause an updraft that prevents them from hitting the ground?
Or causes a lot of dismemberment.
Make them jump immediately
Blue Thunder IRL
Man I'm old.
For some reason I starting humming the Air Wolf theme. Different helicopter.
Its what I thought of as well and at least I'm not a fetus ;)
Usually the altitude indicates height above the home point, so if the police launched from down the hill, ascended to 200ft, and flew towards the hill, the drone would lose distance between the ground and the drone while still showing "200 ft"
I guess the footage is recorded and the police need to get investigated for this.
