Small, local law enforcement knows how to deal with people with guns (putting aside Uvalde) - that's one of the few things they are prepared for.

Investigating or preventing a small drone attack is probably way beyond even a large city's police force.

Isn’t the investigation difficulty a function of its novelty? I figure after the first few drone bombings cities will learn how to deal with them.

It's not clear to me how the police will track down who operated what drone, especially if the drone operator is several kilometers away, perhaps not even near the launch site, and even if caught, only has a controller and headset.

This is much more like the DC sniper than a typical gunman.

Also we're already looking at a) onboard autonomy, so control is not needed or b) rebroadcast hardware that runs over LTE or WiFi. Satellite comms on the way, at least for the civilian market.
