It's really difficult to take such a heavily edited video with shitty music seriously.
What exactly does this reveal? That the police use helicopters with various cameras and radios to communicate? Uh, no shit. Anyone that's watched one of those police chase shows in the past few decades could tell you that.
You know what everyone hates? Traffic. Shutting down a highway has to be the absolute worst possible way to get people to join your movement. It's obnoxious and dangerous. These people deserve to be arrested regardless of what disperse orders were or were not given.
Shining a laser at an aircraft is extremely dangerous. Ask any pilot how it can be blinding. The person doing that 100% should be arrested.

And what exactly does this have to do with privacy anyway? Nothing here belongs in this community.

The tactics and technology of the police state are absolutely a privacy concern.
