Predator Drones Used Against Citizens

Just to help us get used to the military spying on citizens on US soil, and make us forget about the Posse Comitatus Act, here come the drones. Use of drones makes sense in this situation, but that doesn't make it legal, and we know the government will start with cases like these, and then move to our backyards. Truly dangerous.

A government machine, one not being used at the time, was requested by the Sheriff's dept. They don't just fly around with the cameras on.
This was a perfect use of taxpayer owned property. It saved lives.

Munch, you HAVE to start reading what I post. You missed my point entirely. I'm trying to help you, man, you're sounding stupid again.

You imply a wisdom that never seems to make it to the show.

You tease but you never please. You are a stripper who promises everything and delivers nothing. Because even your tits are fake.

An attorney who doesn't know how bills are written or why they are soooo long!

And then you open your pie-hole about sounding stupid.

What a drag when both what's left of your intestine and your colostomy bag are both full.

It's OK. We understand your special needs.

I rest my case.

Oh, you're right. Never mind that the US military is being used to spy on citizens on US soil.
