Despite that, its a dangerous thing to happen. I am aware of how unlikely it is for the current US Government to use the drone offensively, but once you have a massive fleet of drones flying over the US, patrolling "troubling" neighborhoods constantly, the temptation to use those abilities rises significantly.
I hope that Congress takes action to outlaw this practice, but I have little faith it will happen. It seems like everyday the country is falling further into the pit of becoming an authoritarian police state.
The corporate Empire has been built and it's occupying the lands of 280 million Americans.
It's Rome 2.0 and the Rubicon isn't as clear, but it's already crossed.

Minneapolis is in a de-facto state of war, there is no police presence in numerous areas currently, and locals have already setup their own road-blocks and community defense forces.
The Minnesota State Police have been arresting more reporters since CNN and targeting them with tear gas canisters and rubber-bullets at point-blank range. The MSP doesn't respect the Governor, and John Harrington and/or Matt Langer should be disciplined. That is, unless they want a full rebellion.
