It's funny, some people are so opposed to increasing capabilities of law enforcement but they conveniently ignore that the capabilities of criminals are increasing too.

Law enforcement should be as many steps ahead of criminals as possible, provided their capabilities do not infringe on our rights as citizens.

For example blowing people up with a robot bomb without giving them a trial.

No, that particular case was a completely justified use of lethal force.

Police we're being directly fired upon. Should officers not fire back when they are fired upon?
