The helicopters were indeed circulating donuts to the police below.

It is one of the great cop clichés, like having the DA on your back and playing by your own rules to get the case solved.
But officers in Albuquerque have taken the act of chomping on doughnuts to a new action-packed level.
Must sugar-loving cops get their doughnuts by strolling into a shop or by taking the squad car. But when you really need to munch on some sprinkles, there is a time when only a helicopter will meet your transportation needs.
Witnesses say two cops used a police chopper to buy a box of doughnuts from Krispy Kremes. The helicopter costs taxpayers about £40 an hour, but that didn't stop the pair swooping in for a snack.
They circled round their target several times before landing near the shop. Once officer jumped out, grabbed some doughnuts and then returned to the helicopter.
It then took off, sounding its siren as it went.
An employee at the doughnut shop said: 'I was angry, and I'm still a little angry. That's my tax dollars, your tax dollars. You've got no business flying in to get doughnuts.'
A police spokesman confirmed an investigation was underway.
'Between the two of them, I don't know how they decided that was a good idea,' he said. 'If they violated policy or procedure, they're going to get disciplined for it.'

I don't get why people ask these types of questions. "Helicopters circling around whichever neighborhood," or "police cars all over so and so road," because no one ever gives a serious answer or even answers the question. Yet it's weird how people still ask the same questions.

My guess is that Jim Moran dropped a dollar and thought some child stole it. Police were called in to apprehend the monster child.
