Using jammers is one of the things the FCC actually cares about, so it would be difficult to obtain one. Jamming a drone would be difficult from the ground, as well. You could need a way to track the drone, and then use a high-power directional antenna to jam its receivers. It would be extremely difficult to jam a drone's transmit signals without being able to put a jamming source in close proximity to it. Much easier to use a jammer to scramble the cops' radio communications ability. An added bonus to a radio-jammer would be if it jammed cell-signals as well, preventing :LIB: streamers from getting clout by creating evidence to be used by cops against protesters.
Key takeaway about jamming: it's much easier to jam a receiver than it is a transmitter.
Think about it like this: if you're standing next to a loud fan and someone tries to talk to you, it's very difficult to understand them. Now, talk to that person and it will be easier for them to hear you (than you them). The jammer is overwhelming useful signal with noise. An omnidirectional jammer is most effective near the intended jamming location, while a directional jammer can effectively overwhelm a single target from a distance.
