It sets us down a dangerous path.

One of the comments on the article,
"Maybe, just maybe, we should all quit paying all of our attention to the singular action and pay attention to the root cause. IMHO, the root cause is the military mindset of the police departments all across America. In the Army you're trained that whoever is on the other side of the line is the "enemy." I can't speak for the other branches of the military, but I suspect it is the same. Your job is not to pacify or take care of the "enemy," your job is to kill the "enemy."
As an American cop, why would you view the person on the other side of the line as an "enemy?" In this one particular instance, the shooter was the enemy. How did he become the enemy? Likely because he was sick and tired of being viewed as the enemy by the police. Keep treating people like the enemy long enough and they will definitely become the enemy. And that's where we are today. More and more of "We The People" are viewing the police as the enemy simply because that's how they view us.
And sadly this view from the police is frequently based on the color of your skin. A decent first step in taking care of this problem is to #disarmpolice. Citizens should not fear the police. In a perfect world, the police also shouldn't fear the citizens. Alas, we don't live in a perfect world. I'd rather the police fear the citizens than the other way around.
And so many people try talking about disarming the people. I think Thomas Jefferson put it perfectly when he said, "The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it."

I thought I was tge only one who thought of them using the drone like that, I didn't like it.
The problem is now americans can be executed by drones on american soil..
Murderers. This was a special case. You murder a bunch of police, tell them you want to murder some more, they're not going to risk more lives in trying to get him. He got what he deserved. If you're crying because some murderer got handled, you're pathetic.
Stfu fakkit.. Theyve managed to capture every other single murderer without using dronss before
The problem is the precedent. If it becomes legal to do this... You dont think there could be some issues? The same people who ineptly murder unarmed people almost daily, should not be given MORE power. They need less authority.

i saw someone on here say that this dudes family should sue the dallas PD for manslaughter
and im not even mad at what he did, but that shyt had me weak
if you take it to the police, and put 5 of them in the ground, they're gonna defend themselvesso as far as this topic...im gonna need another example of a droning because this isnt the case to clal out police for excessive force. i just dont see how you can make that argument

Are you slow or something? I see a few of you like to whine about this, but what's missing is what you would have done in the situation. And it's a simple minded person that thinks all situations are the same. This was a unique situation and they handled it. You and Jahfocus feeling sorry about some murderer, but don't mention how you would have handled it.
Its not a bad thing....hypothetically if youre leader on a SWAT team with a well armed barricaded a$$hole who wont negotiate, wont surrender..wont come out..will you risk your mens lives going in after him and explain it to their crying wives or send in the robot to finish the jobits a tool that can save lives ....now the people holding the remote and when they can push play thats what we should worry about...
like how this has the potential to make negotiations brutally short
Are you coming out yes or nah?...
