Drones to be Used in Dorner Case

I wonder if this is going to end up being a clean, painless kill... enough so to justify the continued use of drones in manhunts?

Honestly, if I had to choose between police officers shooting up random trucks vs. an unmanned surveillance drone, I'd much rather have the surveillance drone. The fact that you can even compare the casualty count between the (alleged) criminal and the police officers looking for him is ridiculous.

Would you feel better about if if they were using ordinary helicopters to look for him?

I'd like it if the cops simultaneously didn't shoot up random trucks or use drones on American citizens.

But then again, I'd also like us to be able to go faster than light.

You know, I'm fairly sure someone earlier on in this thread said Dorner would represent the thin wedge of a more gradual drone surveillance rollout, because no-one will feel much sympathy for a cop killer.

Now if I could only remember who that was...

Oooh! Ooooh! I know this one! It was Cain! (and I didn't even have to look).

Cain is my frequent assurance that my paranoid thoughts are correct. And some other paranoid stuff that would never have occurred to me otherwise.

Horrible Truth ITT.

But at least I know I haven't lost my mind.  :lol:

i would rather have them use an actual helicopter.
more effective, and less likely to be used frivolously.
similar in concept to wanting them carrying only fully lethal firearms, rather than tasers, etc.

Excellent point, this.

Indeed. I don't always respond to Cain's posts, but I do pay attention to them. Cain has demonstrated that the world is in fact a crazy place, but never for the reasons that conspiracy theorists claim.

If Eris via Cain has taught me anything, its that all of your worst fears are true, and everyone that told you that your worst fears were going to happen were fucking wrong.

QuoteLaw enforcement officials have been flooded with calls from the public after offering a $1 million reward for any information leading to the capture of triple homicide suspect Christopher Dorner.

KCAL9′s Serene Branson reports while most of those tips may not go anywhere, police say they have to check out each one just to be safe.

QuotePolice seeking Dorner opened fire in a second case of mistaken identity

Torrance police say the man was driving a pickup resembling the fugitive's. The incident happened just after the LAPD fired on women delivering newspapers nearby.

Saw the news footage, looks like the Cops have gone totally bugfuck. Standing on street corners looking as paranoid and twitchy as meth dealers and shooting everything that even looks like it's likely to move. If it wasn't for the fact that real people are dying it'd be funny as hell. In fact, scratch that, it is funny as hell. My sense of humour knows no bodycount.
