I remember when police departments said they wouldn't put weapons on their drones, when they were first trying to obtain them, to quell the outrage.

I guess that only lasted a few years. The problem is it's likely that these drones are going to end-up killing a lot of innocents, too, when they become "mainstream" in police departments, and when the police want to use them because they are "so cool" and it gives them more of that warrior cop feeling. That's only going to make the relationship between the public and the police much worse, and it won't be just black people angry at them.
