The main problem with a drone is narrow field of view. Extremely unlikely the drone would be over the site when a shooting takes place. It COULD get to a shooting faster than a police car, but so could a helicopter, and the stabilized optics and cameras on police helicopters are amazingly good - good enough to pick a face out of a crowd from a great enough distance that you could not hear the helicopter over local traffic noise. The drone thing sounds like more wild trashing on the part of a clueless Chief Moose.

I seriously doubt they will use drones. That's a little too much. But the helecopters should have been used from the getgo.

True, but I wonder if drones could be used in tandem with something else to tag the perps...very 'spensive police choppers, basically.

And arm the hellfires. :-)

But you could use a drone when the weather doesn't permit using a helicopter, like last Friday.
