(36,063 posts)what appears to be determination to kill him on sight rather than making an attempt at a live capture and a trial. It's my sincere hope that the agencies involved do not seek to kill him with an armed aircraft of any kind.
The little township which holds my land uses satellite reconnaissance to monitor various aspects of code compliance. That is merely a change in technology that was long guaranteed as the right to visit my property that the township is already granted.
Searching for a fugitive from justice using a drone is similar application of changing technology to do aerial surveillance that t has for decades already been well accepted.
Yet, the decision to shoot to kill on sight, as indicated by multiple incidents of the LAPD shooting mistaken innocents, that's a horse of a different color. It suggests a very very much darker turn in the American character and our sense of fair and due process.
