> Do you remember the day they said that drones would never be used against the population, but only for military targets?

It was drone strikes. I'm confident that's coming against the domestic population, with concomitant "oops, we didn't mean to hit the playground" events.



Right, because the government drops bombs from manned aircraft in the domestic theater all the time.


The Police dropped a bomb on the MOVE movement house, which also killed children, in Philadelphia.


Yes, I'm well aware of that. That happened in 1985. So, one example from the last thirty years. One. To me, that says it is not, in fact, a big problem and we probably shouldn't lose much sleep over it, if any.


Or snipers people from tall buildings all the time.


There are literally tens of thousands of armed government agents on the streets of every municipality of America and have been for hundreds of years.
