WASHINGTON (CBSDC)



The Federal Aviation Administration has allowed several police departments to use drones across the U.S. They are controlled from a remote location and use infrared sensors and high-resolution cameras.
...
Chief Deputy Randy McDaniel of the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office in Texas told The Daily that his department is considering using rubber bullets and tear gas on its drone.

At what point do we acknowledge we're living in a police state?

I see asshats giving PSA's, giving speeches and pronouncing edicts all the time...for the good of us all...I think the police state came without notice...sheep cannot see wolves when their heads are busy grazing...those that do notice and complain are ignored, belittled, bullied and harassed into silence.

For all practical purposes the police state is here.  It is now merely a question if it can be turned back or allowed to consolidate into an openly oppressive state.  If Stymie ever declares martial law we'll have our answer.  Hopefully we are still on schedule for an election and a changing of the guard....

Even if we are not yet a full blown police state, for certain they are aggressively building and implementing the framework of one. We are definitely to the point where the only thing they'll have to do is flip a switch.

That was kinda what I was saying in a sardonic commentary on the society. I don't think the general population can be brought to understand the situation until the switch gets flipped.

In the meantime, I'm going to hold out hope that we can disconnect the switch at the source.

And of course, you can always count on the opportunists who see statism as a great way to feather their own nests.

I would argue their nests need to be fouled.   ::evil::

Drone manufacturers are gearing up to pitch an estimated 18,000 police departments in the U.S. on the benefits of flying drones.

You won't be able to shoot them down. You won't even spot them. I can't think of any other reason for this-  especially the blending of Military and Domestic Police operations,  other than a plan to implement martial law.

OK, how about the operator, how close do they have to be?  Is tracking that Nazi down an option?

Otherwise...once Order 66 is given, all pretense is out the door so bullets be flying everywhere!

They can't get us all, right?
