> The article describes the drone buzzing the original CBP chopper as well as flying an orbit around the police helicopter. It is reasonable to suggest that a collision between the drone and either of those helicopters would be fatal for the pilot. No military pilot I know would ever create the type of risky scenario as described here.

Here's a video of CPB buzzing a crowd in a helicopter kicking up rocks at them. This happened 2 weeks ago. https://twitter.com/i/status/1401952522319843329

The idea of idiot pilots doing asshole things to other people is par for the course. No reason why this couldn't be military assholes either.

Because CBP encourages assholes, while the military usually kicks them out (at least if they're assholes to civilians). One of the two values discipline, and it's not CBP.
