I suspect some UH-72 students at Rucker will be discussing the airwork/headwork involved here:

It was doing a "show of force" by hovering over protesters heads.
And now that I figured out I can see the video...
And it was a poor SOF, which isn't a bad thing. Mostly just a helo hovering out of ground effect, and not nearly as dramatic as the text implies. But after looking at several other tweets from this person, that seems to be the MO...dramatically stating things that aren't necessarily dramatic.

They should have dropped some recruiting fliers, as long as they were there.
Isn't that the MO of most news outlets these days?
When the FCC was issuing broadcast licenses to television networks in the 1950s. it came with the stipulation each station broadcast one hour of "informational programming", aka The Evening News.
Where we missed the boat was not adding an additional clause - "you may make money through advertising during the other 23 hours, but the one hour of informational programming must be ad-free."
Looks like training of IP's from TW-5/HT's on the TH-73 has begun.

TH-73A instructor pilot training begins | NAVAIR
Instructor pilot training for the new TH-73A Advanced Helicopter Training System (AHTS) began in June with the first two instructor pilots from Training Air Wing (TAW) 5 getting classroom and hands-on experience at the AgustaWestland Philadelphia Corporation (Leonardo) facility in Philadelphia.
Soon the turbofan engines and helo training will just be something the old guys reminisce about.Looks like training of IP's from TW-5/HT's on the TH-73 has begun.TH-73A instructor pilot training begins | NAVAIR

Out with the old,
In with the new,
I don't think any IP from the last few years will reminisce fondly about the 57.
I got the fan...you got the shaft.
Amen. Talk about an aircraft that is well past its time - and if nothing else that no other IP has to be awarded this:

The Helo Advanced syllabus is about to be disrupted in a really healthy way. I've heard FS is re-writing the syllabus with considerable injection of Transport Category aircraft style CRM/training event construction - with heavy influence from their S-92 commercial experience.
FS folks have been pushing CNATRA to adopt their 121/135/USAF structured training experience and given a fairly free hand in green-field approach to the helo advanced syllabus. Looks like FS was successful at convincing CNATRA and NAVAIR that their approach was the way to go.
