Governor of Virginia: Drones over Virginia "great" for the same reasons they are so effective on the battlefield & right thing to do!
WASHINGTON - Police drones flying over Virginia would be "great" and "the right thing to do" for the same reasons they are so effective in a battlefield environment, the state's chief executive said Tuesday.

Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel, says he is open to any technology that makes law enforcement more productive. The use of drones, which was recently endorsed by the police chiefs of Fairfax County and D.C., would make better use of valuable police resources.

"It's great," he said while speaking on WTOP's "Ask the Governor" program. "If you're keeping police officers safe, making it more productive and saving money...it's absolutely the right thing to do."

A proposal to purchase drones hasn't yet reached his desk, he says, but state law enforcement agencies are looking for the the most current ways to fight crime.

That sentiment was echoed last month by David Rohrer, chief of police for Fairfax County, one of the state's most affluent areas.

"Drones will certainly have a purpose and a reason to be in this region in the next, coming years," he told WTOP. "Just as a standpoint as an alternative for spotting traffic and sending information back to our VDOT Smart Traffic centers, and being able to observe backups."

You would think that just the mere fact that they are saying these things are "great" be enough and looking forward to their future use be enough to stir people up.

They're already regularly flying drones over our district and it's a low crime area. It's been about a year now that I've seen them. I think they're looking for weed in people's gardens. Still, I cannot go outside on my deck in my pjs even when my backyard is backed up to a wooded preserve. Can you imagine who's doing the remote viewing of those cameras??? the sick FCKS.

What happens when we do something illegal?

Answer: We are prosecuted, imprisoned, fined, whatever. The point is we have consequences.
Now, when we refuse to comply with those consequences, then what? Then the government or State can use deadly force if necessary.

So why do the people have to play by different rules when those we entrust to represent our Constitution and protect it and us begin to betray that duty?

All I will say is they better put some serious armor on these things or fly them high enough that some redneck with a rifle can't shoot it down. People are already sick of this shit.
It's time to vote these traitors out of office, and if that doesn't work, then who knows what comes next but it probably won't be good.

You know I hate to say this, but I have had nothing but the most negative experiences with commissioned and career soldiers whom I've worked with.

I can't recall a single one that wasn't a two faced, back stabber, with a private agenda; So I'm not surprised.

disinformation to account for the shit that's flying around in the sky that are NOT drones.

that was predictable from the moment they showed us the "classic ufo shaped" ufo on the bed of that truck driving down the highway.

besides, have you seen these "drones" law enforcement claim to be utilizing? they look like remote control helicopters... calling it a drone is a fucking joke.

Yea and its because the people who want the drones in the Sky have no Allegiance to Liberty.

They are not real Americans.


This is why they do see us as the Enemy, because they are aligned with the Opposition to Liberty.
