Yes, Please
- State lawmakers in Connecticut are getting set to debate a bill that would provide state and city police departments to use armed unmanned aerial vehicles or “drones” fitted with weapons that are deadly or capable of inflicting serious injuries, according to report from the Connecticut General Assembly this week.
While the proposed law overwhelmingly passed the state’s judiciary committee, several members said they just wanted to allow an open debate by lawmakers from both political parties.
According to reports, only the state of North Dakota has allowed its police forces to use weaponized drones, but even then police are only allowed to the use weapons deemed non-lethal, such as stun guns (Tasers), rubber bullets, water hoses or tear gas. Meanwhile, Wisconsin, Nevada, Oregon, North Carolina and Vermont prohibit anyone — police or National Guard — from using weaponized unmanned aerial vehicles.
We anticipate "suicide drones," probably for the military first. Fly a weaponized drone with a few grams of high explosive after wanted offenders, fleeing vehicles, barricaded subjects. Poof, like magic.

How long before the drones become "Fetal" from lack of support from the community?
So I guess they will just strip the 21 year old gamer kid flying the things.
can the 008dist get a drone strike from 55 -75 artesian then 63-74 oakley now thats a great day💩
A drone rigged up with a water hose, mmmmmm. I could sit in the garage and water my lawn. I wonder how big the drone needs to be to do that? Remote controlled Blackhawk would do.
Pull all of the cars off of the streets and let the drones patrol the neighborhoods. No more human interaction between citizens and real police officers. No more CR #s. Nothing. You break the law or act up and the CPD Drone just turns the offender(s) into dust.

No so long ago someone flew a drone near the 12th district.
Coach Calhoun for Supt! The record speaks for itself and his SI Interview actually talks about his support for this bill.
It's better than Re-Run trying to recruit Dee as a Cop.
Bye Bye Bye
Remember the film "Blue Thunder" with Roy Schieder? The use of drones in LE will probably happen only in the movies or be permitted in a few red states.

The drone operator can go just as fetal as the street officers. He can hover and park the drone in a park or on top of DD.
Maybe somebody with mad scientist Photshop skills can add the beat tags and "M" series plates. Talk about saturation!

Game of Drones . . . Summer is coming.
When will the gangs and ghetto rats discover drones? That will be the day.
I disagree with the use of weaponized drones.... What kinda cop would want to pull the trigger and instantly get jammed up.
Are going to? Are already? Inquiring minds...
Pretty soon police officers will no longer be human but machines. Enforcing all laws, no discretion. This is straight out of Robocop.
Maybe once they consider drones a threat, we can get our shotguns back.
That robot bom worked wonders in the Texas parking garage standoff. I think they are on to something here. This may even save a few K9's.
The "Drone" would be perfect to keep an eye on Wheeeezzzzeeee ducking out early every day in 009....
If deadly force is justified does it really matter how the police deliver it? How many times have the police had to deal with barricaded gunman shooting at use from a position of cover. In many cases the incident could have been ended much sooner - and with less risk to the public - had we been able to "neutralize" the offender via use of a drone. It makes sense to me to have it available as an option if needed. The problem (obviously) are the bleeding heart liberals who are going to say it isn't "fair".
Drones are droll.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Do drones have a "no chase" policy as well?
So when people (or folks) shoot at an armed drone and it's weapons detonate and wound an innocent bystander, who pays that bill???
Some "communities" would require Huey Cobras converted to drones. Those Hellfire missiles and mini-guns are heavy.
I am a big supporter of law enforcement, but the idea of a weaponized drone, in a red or blue state, to use against American citizens, I don't like at all. You want one with a camera on it to video criminals being criminals, I'm with you all the way, but this is just wrong.
Who decides what kind of criminal action gets a criminal shot down by the eye in the sky? The way politicians and judges keep changing things, how long before someone speeding down the highway, (not a pursuit) gets a missile up his tailpipe?
Laugh now, but how long ago was it that Police Departments used to enforce laws? Cities never used to defend their criminals, hell they were criminals!
This goes too far. You can bash me now, I'll still support the police, but if you don't draw a line somewheres, what will you stand for?

I can't wait to buy a few of these !!

Academy needs 50 sergeants to teach law. Again, there goes the numbers for the large class of sergeants. Be prepared, another sergeant's class in May.
Great target practice for the bangers
I hear that in some aviation boneyard sitting forlornly is a once proud DC-3 with few gun mounts on its port side. I M sure Spooky wouldn't mind getting some new electronics and get back in the action.

Are micro helicopter drones being used in 012 for taking tips off restaurant tables and vending machine coin change slots?
The liberals had a hissy-fit meltdown when Dallas PD used a robot to search for explosives and consequently injured the poor misunderstood heavily armed, agitated blm thug protestor holed up and hiding like a typical chicken shit in a cubby hole.
Rahm will not allow any advantageous equipment to aid the Police. Though he may use drones to pickup and deliver illegal voter registrations and ballots from war infested ghettos. The precinct captain of the future.
Somebody has been watching that science fiction on FOX called APB!
there was a show....red jacket guns on the discovery channel. they made a drone that could fire a 9mm by remote control by a drone.. and this was 3 yrs ago....... you do not think that the hoodrats are going to figure that out? or ISIS or any ohter person who hates the police? the future is not bright, but very scary........
"I thought it was illegal to arm Police Helicopters?"
"Well that would depend on the circumstances wouldn't it."
-Blue Thunder
Saw a local walking past the 10th district with his cellphone pointed at it. Be careful out there.
No ordinary citizen has the scientific knowledge or access to hard gear that is needed to weaponize a drone. But, I would not doubt that gangs are already using camera equipped drones. They are easy to obtain and cheap. The police should be using them also. This is shaping up to be a very bad and bloody Summer. What is going on in the streets will effect the mayoral election, for sure.
Got Jdams?
Air strikes finally!
They would work really nice placing some tear gas in the middle of unruly crowds or into a barricade situation. Or a grenade for that matter.

The academy has only one experienced law instructor for 400 recruits. They has a sgt that taught law but she wisely left the sinking ship. The management thinks anyone can teach anything. Nothing to see here, move on.

It's not to teach law. Lawyers do that. And I think the number is 30.

They want 30 Sgts, and a few Lts. They will be doing a one week "train the trainer" certification, and then sent out to the districts to do the new [do not] Use of Force order.
I'm guessing few will volunteer...
No armed drones for the police please.......imagine all the ND/AD!!!!
