Odd that a helicopter which probably had recorded part of the protest depending on what time it crashed just went down. Maybe they had video showing zero white supremacists and zero guns. Would have gone against the narrative the uniparty and media put out after.

They might have had video of the driver of the killer car being switched out for the patsy. One of them was also a personal security officer for the Dem governor.

They had a very odd flight pattern before the crash.

RIP to them and their families.

I have seen reports of the crash stating that the helicopter was on the way to the protest. Also some of the videos from the protest show a black helicopter overhead.

"Heroes" for being on the way to escort the corrupt VA governor?

They crashed, not on a critical life saving mission, but for other reasons.

Not a word from anyone as to why this helicopter crashed and burned. Odd??? By now the FAA investigation should have some clue as to why this crash occurred, killing two police pilots. McAuliffe at work?

Seems suspicious and now that we have seen how evil and corrupt the government has become I don’t put anything past them. Crashing A helicopter could probably be done from a computer.

The same helicopter had reportedly had an emergency landing in 2010: http://www.nbc12.com/story/36136353/state-police-helicopter-involved-in-emergency-landing-in-2010

Maybe they didn’t want a helicopter there and made it crash before so no witness to the fake news story. Who knows it might have been an accident but I doubt it.

Just way too coincidental for me to believe it was a coincidence. Was everything in the helicopter burned up? Nothing left behind? Like the film? Probably not.

The media then ran with “three dead after white nationalist rally” and tied the death of the officers to the “don’t take down our statue” event.

I’ve got a copy of the flight path somewhere. Will try to post later.

Didn’t know that. What entity investigates the crash? What local/state governmental power has jurisdiction over the investigation? Is it that Lefty Libby Governor? Terry whatever? If so? The ‘smell’ grows a little more rancid.

Here it says the helicopter was at a facility “not authorized to do the work” and that it was “ unclear” why it was sent there, with no further explanation. It is like the writer and editor lost track of what they took out of the article:

What about the very live pilots in the picture crying about the crash they supposedly died in? Unless the men pictured just happen to look exactly like the two pilots who died or there was some horrendous error by the journalists here, they made a huge mistake that destroys the whole story here.

“It is like the writer and editor lost track of what they took out of the article”

E-mail or Tweet both of them and ask them why they lost track and what did they take out? I would, but I’m stupid with Tweets and stuff like that. Do the Social stuff. If you get me the phone numbers to both? PM me and I’ll call them on Monday. Serious. What’s the worse that can happen?
