    When can police use a drone to kill someone?

    Last Thursday night marked the first time that American civilian police have used a robot to kill someone on American soil. Bombs too have only been used to distract killers (like in Orlando) to provide cover for a raid, never to kill a suspect.

    If drone assassinations by civilian police are acceptable, where is the line to what kind of technology they may use to do so?

    • Use whatever tech you need to keep others from dying—this guy had already hit 12 people—taking him out w/a drone is a great idea—nobody else put in harms wayPonyBoy
