Police say their helicopter was shot at multiple times Sunday

Ferguson St. Louis Missouri Police Shooting Riots Protests MORE The Long, Tangled Roots of the Michael Brown Shooting Obama Calls Michael Brown Death ‘Heartbreaking’ The Federal Aviation Administration issued a no-fly zone over Ferguson, Missouri, Tuesday at the request of the St. Louis County Police Department.

The St. Louis County Police Department told TIME it asked the FAA for the flight restriction after a police helicopter was fired upon “multiple times” during civil unrest Sunday. Ferguson, located just outside St. Louis, Missouri, erupted in street violence amid demonstrations sparked by the death of Michael Brown, a black teenager who was shot and killed by police on Saturday.

The FAA order restricts flights over the Ferguson area below 3,000 feet to first responders only, including medical and police helicopters. Private aircraft, including news helicopters, are prohibited from flying below 3,000 feet in a 3- mile radius around the town. The rule doesn’t apply to aircraft landing at or taking off from the nearby Lambert–St. Louis International Airport, a major commercial hub. The restriction is in place through August 18.

The order says the flight restrictions were put in place “to provide a safe environment for law enforcement activities.” The FAA would not elaborate further on the reason for the St. Louis County Police Department’s request. “If you want it, file a FOIA,” FAA Spokesperson Elizabeth Cory told TIME, in reference to a Freedom of Information Act request.

It’s not unusual for local police departments to request flight restrictions over potentially dangerous zones, and it’s typically done to clear airspace for police helicopter operations. The Ferguson restriction, however, may make it more difficult for news media to get aerial footage of the town as the Brown story continues to develop.

“If we feel that order is restored we can request ran early termination,” St. Louis County police spokesperson Bryan Schellman told TIME.

“to provide a safe environment for law enforcement activities.”

lately it seems a safe environment and law enforcement activities

should not be used in the same sentence.

That is the truth!

I imagine all hell will really break loose now that it was announced the policeman in question was white.

the policeman in question was white.

Bingo, and the drones, you betya, this is a drill

They tried with the travon martian case to start a race war, it never had a chance.

This one has possibilities. Yes there are those who could care less about the shooting they just want to get free stuff because there criminals anyway.

But people need to understand this isn't a black or white thing, something the media fails to mention.

Its about the way "law enforcement" has been killing people

And it doesn't matter what color you are. Any contact with "law enforcement" means you have a great chance of being punched, kicked, tazered, or even shot

for no reason at all

The police have become radicalized, they are being trained to see us all as a threat. I do find it curious how they waited to release the information regarding the race of the officer. They are indeed stirring the pot.
