LOS ANGELES — The late-night buzz in downtown Los Angeles this week is due to military helicopters that have been training in urban settings, preparing them for future assignments overseas.

The Black Hawk choppers have been spotted over City Hall or maneuvered quickly between skyscrapers on Bunker Hill. Though many residents thought the helicopters were part of a movie shoot, authorities confirmed they were part of a joint exercise.

A notice on the Police Department's official blog says the exercises started June 15 and are scheduled to end Saturday.
Authorities say training sites and times have been selected so they don't disrupt the routines of businesses and residents.

Training for raids on illegal aliens? I hope.
