That was the FIRST killing of a suspect by drone in the U.S. Bet it’s not the last.
It was a tracked robot, which might be the best thing to call it to avoid confusion. But armed drones are coming:
It's hard to see in this image but this drone is armed with a full-auto gun.
I know I’ll get flamed for this, and I’m happy the creep is dead, BUT wasn’t that murder?
What about his constitutional rights? Due process?
He was contained was he not? What was the hurry? Wait him out. Sometimes it takes days. Maybe he would have eventually given up, killed himself or committed suicide by cop.
Those would have been justified, but to send in a bomb, sounds like murder to me. Just sayin.
I would throw the switch, pull the handle, push the button, pull the trigger, or stick the needle in his arm if this guy had his day in court. DUE PROCESS.
It might have been profitable to have been able to water board, I mean interrogate him.
More prescience from Matt Bracken.
