Predator drone spy plane used in civilian arrests

cognitivedissonance:

In the U.S. 

To be precise, in North Dakota:

Armed with a search warrant, Nelson County Sheriff Kelly Janke went looking for six missing cows on the Brossart family farm in the early evening of June 23. Three men brandishing rifles chased him off, he said. Janke knew the gunmen could be anywhere on the 3,000-acre spread in eastern North Dakota. Fearful of an armed standoff, he called in reinforcements from the state Highway Patrol, a regional SWAT team, a bomb squad, ambulances and deputy sheriffs from three other counties. He also called in a Predator B drone.

BRB, building a blanket fort and never coming out.

  27. jsenum said: Just how would a drone prevent an armed standoff? They would still have to make physical contact with the suspects and that is when gunfire would erupt no matter how they found them. the military wants us to get used to their domestic “work”.
