The drones “might accidentally target a fleeing student instead of a shooter” or “remote pilots, in a split-second decision,

In fairness that is the same risk of an armed officer rushing into a classroom. Their split second decisions have a bigger impact and they are not going into an active shooter situation with tasers. Let the drone breech and the officers enter upon instructions from the drone operator.

Originally found minutes ago on The Onion's "American Voices" section (the real news in the site).

Submissions of pages from The Onion seemingly prevent discussion: deleted.

On The Week instead:

> “We need to focus on the prevention piece rather than the reaction piece”

Finally, the intention we always obviously want to hear.
