I don't see a problem with it. It's a tool.

I love this personally. Smart idea to utilize technology to offer better policing. How can you not be in favor of this?
Do you have a financial interest in this decision, OP?

Nobody is being surveilled. It is responding to crimes when people call 911. It is no different than DC using its helicopter or MCPD calling in State Trooper helicopters. It’s just faster and cheaper to get to the scene.

That’s Nonsense. Where is the proof it would reduce police violence.
I can’t believe a drone can make a life or death decision on whether or not a suspect actually has a gun.
If a drone gets to a scene 5 or 6 minutes before an officer could, it could gather a lot of information to help prep officers. So in the example given at the forums, police received a 911 call for a man with a gun. That type of call sends in amped up cops ready to defend. Instead; the drone was able to determine it was not a gun but a lighter. The police entered the scene on a much more low key level. Conducted a brief interview and left.
That’s how it can reduce the potential for officer involved shootings.

I looked up the price of a similar drone aircraft - the system like the one shown costs upwards of $50,000 each, possibly double that depending on other options.
Waste of money. Their budget needs to be trimmed dramatically.
If you want Better policing, this is a good step to avoid issues.
