We definitely don't need the negative press but that is the fault of the press really. They sensationalize, it's what they do!
besides the wind from a full size heli would have destroyed a multirotor before it even got close!
he would have landed knowing it was coming and the cops, siting a felony, would have tazed him while flying if it were so impeding of rescue.
