In brief... A helicopter owner and his pilot rescued two lost 11-year-olds in the mountains in California last week. This was a night operation involving night-vision goggles. Now the local Sheriff is unhappy about it, calling the two rescuers all sorts of nasty names.
Sounds like a bitter grapes argument to me. The various law enforcement authorities are just stung because the amateur team found the kids first. Bunch of over-controlling jerks.
