Border Patrol was flying an MQ-9 Predator drone over MLPS. After the way the POTUS was talking yesterday, l wouldn’t be surprised if he’s given them the ok-go to arm up. 
Drones and the National Guard for BLM. It was hugs and shrugs for white supremacists who stormed a state house armed to the teeth. Funny to me.
Before I left for Iraq, I did a month of training at Creech Air Force Base in Nevada. That’s where a good amount of the Predator and Reaper drones are parked. I can’t tell you how dangerous is for these things to be flying over a civilian population.
They’ve got a failure right higher than most aircraft. Just a few years ago, the Air Force crashed 20 of them. TWENTY.
When I was deployed to Iraq, we had to recover two crashed drones in a period of 3 months. So what happens when this thing falls outta the sky and kills somebody?
*failure rate
Got a bunch of aircraft experts telling me an MQ9 is a Reaper. Which is correct. An MQ9 can also be a Predator B. But what tf would I know, I was just in the Air Force.
The difference is that a Reaper comes armed. A Predator B is generally used for reconnaissance, but can also be armed. Either way, they shouldn’t be flying over a major American city seeing as we use em to kill civilians in other countries.
