    Re: Local sheriff calls in Predator drone as 'backup' from USAF

    As the unmanned aircraft circled 2 miles overhead the next morning, sophisticated sensors under the nose helped pinpoint the three suspects and showed they were unarmed. Police rushed in and made the first known arrests of U.S. citizens with help from a Predator, the spy drone that has helped revolutionize modern warfare.
    They also don't call them out for every call. So I guess I should feel better.

    Now why are they promoting this in ND?

    The sheriff sounds like a pussy looking for cows.

    Reporting from Washington—
    Armed with a search warrant, Nelson County Sheriff Kelly Janke went looking for six missing cows on the Brossart family farm in the early evening of June 23. Three men brandishing rifles chased him off, he said.

    Janke knew the gunmen could be anywhere on the 3,000-acre spread in eastern North Dakota. Fearful of an armed standoff, he called in reinforcements from the state Highway Patrol, a regional SWAT team, a bomb squad, ambulances and deputy sheriffs from three other counties.

    He also called in a Predator B drone.

    Way back when (and it wasn't that long ago, like 30 years) when folks respected peace officers, a SINGLE deputy could have handled the problem.

    So frankly, 'officers of the law' need to reflect upon why folks no longer respect them. (hint: maybe it's because they've become strictly debt collectors with guns for the corporate state)
