Predator Drone Overwatch in LA Sparks Outrage: Is Trump Testing Martial Law Tactics in Blue America?
Trump's Predator drone flies over LA protests, triggering fears of martial law and sparking backlash over authoritarian tactics in a Democratic stronghold.

Los Angeles, the city of sprawling protests and political resistance, was subject to scrutiny last weekend—this time, in the skies. Flight trackers and aircraft data showed that an MQ-9 Reaper, a military-rated drone often employed in foreign combat areas, flew over LA during political protests.
The drone, which traced a hexagonal flight path over Paramount and downtown LA, later went on to be tracked toward the US-Mexico border. The aircraft lacked an initial callsign, raising suspicions and speculations among civil rights activists and aerial hobbyists.
Air traffic control audio recordings captured by tracking enthusiast "Aeroscout" apparently verified that the aircraft was a DHS-piloted Q-9 Reaper drone.
