"The FBI warned police departments in California in recent days that Iran could retaliate for American attacks by launching drones at the West Coast." Police departments?? What's Johnny Law supposed to do to an inbound Shahed? Frisk it at 3,000 feet?

FBI warns Iran aspired to attack California with drones in retaliation for war: Alert

The warning came in a bulletin that was reviewed by ABC News.

Maybe Hegseth will let the local cops play with the US military's expensive pew pew laser anti-aircraft weapons in civilian airspace if they ask him nicely.

@DaveMWilburn @kevinrothrock The Ukrainians do shoot down Shaheds with .50 machine guns -- but only if the thing is flying low enough. I guess Californian sheriffs could try use a .50 sniper rifle. Kinda better than nothing. Although they would be very likely to shoot with enthusiasm at a small plane instead.

@kevinrothrock if it's brown, they'll take it down

All of those rounds land somewhere...

@kevinrothrock
Police departments have already been getting military equipment for a while. Why not some AA pods while they're at it...

Well @kevinrothrock if Iran paints the drones black I'm sure LAPD will find the resources.
