  1. Hey NYC, because of cloud cover the news choppers aren’t flying. This means: 1. If you hear a helicopter, it’s the cops 2. You don’t have top cover. If the cops want to fuck with you, there’s not gonna be overhead footage.

      The helicopters are always overhead when they kettle folks. Follow N919PD and N918PD on FlightRadar24. N920PD might fly later tonight (though it’s been flying a lot over the past week and might need maintenance).

        N414PD was used last week but it’s a rescue helicopter and is less likely to make an appearance. N917PD hasn’t flown since mid-March, probably indicating it’s out of service for the time being.

          Track these on FlightRadar24 and you can see what the cops really care about.

            Looks like darkness and weather might have grounded the NYPD as well. Silver linings. Stay safe and dry out there, folks.

              The cops are back in the air — but so are the news choppers. And the news is getting here first.
