So this is why those obnoxious news helicopters were annoying thousands of people for over an hour. So the 4 people who watch local news can see a live shot of a parked car from an aerial view.

Unrelated to this incident but I think you come off as a very sad, angry person and talking to a mental health professional instead of trolling the same website daily might be helpful.

- a Boston Cop

...I'll agree with Kinopio. For situations like this, news helicopters are a nuisance and a hazard.

Now, if this was like the time helicopters hovered over a school where there was a gas leak or whatever, sure, but this is overhead footage of a crime scene to lead off the telecast. Much better than if Anaridis Rodriguez is standing across the street for a live shot in a half hour.

And that said, pissing Kinopio off (which is easy due to the issues he has, but whatever) is a bonus.

This sort of journalistically meaningless "live" footage has been the bane of local news casts ever since it was first introduced.
