‘A show of force’: Military helicopters hover dangerously above protestors in Washington, DC
The low-flying choppers were meant to break up post-curfew protests in the US capital.
These are Lakota helicopters performing what’s known as a show of force, which is often conducted by low-flying jets in combat zones to scare away insurgents. A Black Hawk performed the maneuver minutes later.
