It's not 'for effect'. It's the legal description of use of a firearm by police/military.

The "drone threat" is a bunch of mass hysteria. Every photo I was shown was obviously a passenger jet liner.

That's what I meant by "for effect." They were already able to shoot you.

Ergo a reminder that the military or police can shoot you is for effect; it does not represent a change to the status quo.
