Thank you for this. 

They do seem to work quickly on interference to public safety (as they absolutely should). I’m a bit concerned that these kinds of incidents are now giving hams the reputation of engaging in these kinds of interference. This is worse than self deployment to an incident, especially when it catches the FCC’s attention. I’m hoping there isn’t any regulatory blowback.
