Low-flying military helicopters use wind-blowing 'show of force' tactic to break up protest crowds in Washington DC

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

Several helicopters flew dangerously close to the ground to generate wind over crowds of protesters in Washington DC on Monday night

Twitter footage showed demonstrators quaking beneath deafening gusts

Many fled for cover as the winds kicked up debris and snapped tree branches

The 'show of force' tactic is conducted with jets in combat zones

The aircraft included Army UH-72 Lakota helicopters and UH-60 Black Hawks

#1 Several Twitter users pointed out how dangerous the choppers' maneuvers were as they parked over groups of people at the same level as rooftops.

Some noted that flying at such a low altitude was likely illegal as it undeniably violated Federal Aviation Administration rules.

Words fail.

#2 An Apache attack helicopter doesn't need to hover very low to be effective at breaking up crowds.
