Or how about the fact that the police down there are just opening up on cars without verbal warning or verification that the suspect is in the vehicle?

Who will police the police when the police are killing police?

Drones!

No, the coast guard

If it were just cops killing cops that would be one thing, but they're shooting at random people just because they happen to be in pickup trucks (not even of the same make, color, or model as the one driven by Dorner)
 
Re: First Confirmed Drone Target on American Soil!

Um...so?
 
Re: First Confirmed Drone Target on American Soil!

What's the over/under on when Dorner's story gets made into a Die-Hard-type movie in which he's the hero?

It's been done. Rambo.
 
Re: First Confirmed Drone Target on American Soil!

I don't see what the big deal is about using drones? They're trying to find the dude.

it's because Obama OK'd it the other day. And now thats a bad thing. When Bush OK'd it (or anything) it was OK with them and bad with whoever is OK with Obama doing the same.

Or something like that, not sure. My sheep reading skills aren't very good.
 
Re: First Confirmed Drone Target on American Soil!

I think for some, it's the difference between due process and murder. OJ wasn't taken out while being driven at 35mph down a freeway.
 
Re: First Confirmed Drone Target on American Soil!

Sounds from the article they are using cameras and imaging in the drones to look for him. Did I miss where they are shooting missiles at him if they find him?

I don't think the smaller UAVs can fire weapons... maybe I'm wrong. I read somewhere that DHS had purchased a predator sized UAV though, which is what most people were up in arms about.
 
Re: First Confirmed Drone Target on American Soil!

Consider the source but


A recent story published by California Watch reported that DHS inked a new $443 million deal with über-defense contractor General Atomics to purchase 14 additional Predator drones. If (when) the new craft are delivered to DHS, there would be 24 drones in the agency’s fleet.

Predators are very capable of firing hellfire missiles, so some wonder why domestic agencies would need weapons capable of killing from behind a video screen.
 
Re: First Confirmed Drone Target on American Soil!

I think the UAV flying over MARIS61's house has a ray gun that can read his mind.
 
Re: First Confirmed Drone Target on American Soil!

Will this end up like the Matrix or like the terminator? Damn you robots!
 
Re: First Confirmed Drone Target on American Soil!

The drones they're using are fitted with cameras to find the guy. I've got no problem with it.

Re: First Confirmed Drone Target on American Soil!

Dont you see? The robots are behind it all! And they are trying to teams away our guns too! Where the fuck is John Connor?

Pretty sure all the drones are equipped with thermal and most likely flir... that's not the point. Why would the DHS need 24 military grade unmanned weapons? This is just the beginning of the police using unmanned vehicles. Would you be surprised if they said they found Dorner and had to neutralize him with the drone because there weren't police officers close enough to apprehend him?

Actually it is the point. The issue currently being addressed is finding Dorner. The DHS purchasing 24 Predator drones is mere speculation at this point. And yes, I would be very surprised if the cops neutralized Dorner with a drone attack. I don't believe for a minute that will happen.

...and the dog and pony show continues, get ready Emurica! Drones killing people in the United States is a real issue, regardless of who they are after. Nothing good can come of this. :sigh:

Sure good can come of it. A dangerous psychopath can be found and arrested before he kills again.

What if he is camera shy?

What about his constitutional rights to bear arms . . . and not be photographed!

Why? They've had no problem unloading on two different trucks which bore no resemblance to what Dorner was driving except that they were all pickup trucks. Why wouldn't they be willing to use a UAV to take him out?

Probably because it's fitted with cameras and not missiles. The LAPD are the ones that shot up those vehicles. I'm not sure who is operating the drones although I would guess it is DHS and not LAPD.

You don't know that! How can you be so sure? You are out of order!

Do we know they're outfitting theirs with missiles?

I'm sure they'll be capable of carrying a payload. Will they have missiles while looking for Dorner? I would doubt it, but who knows with the way the LAPD is going right now.

My point is that domestic agencies like the police, FBI, DHS, etc shouldn't be using machines that were designed for war on Americans.

I disagree. If it makes sense and saves lives then use it.
