I see that there’s a plausible connection, but the phrase “predator drone“ is a bit of a loaded phrase. While Minneapolis is embroiled in riots, I think this article may be Stokes paranoia a little bit.

iirc it's the equally poorly named Reaper drone that is armed and the one to be worried about. The predator drone is basically an R/C police helicopter.
However, people have been freaked out about aerial surveillance for decades. It gets the clicks.

The MQ-9 Reaper is a larger counterpart to the MQ-1 Predator. They are both designed for military use, both capable of carrying weapons, and both appropriately named given their original intended purpose.
They're also both airplanes. Neither of them resemble a helicopter in any way.
