My question is when are our police forces going to start using these? How about the border patrol? Arm the uav’s fire at will. Crime will take a drop.

So you’re saying “let’s take an unproven, untried and probably bug-ridden piece of software and give it power to launch lethal weaponry.“
Maybe you missed the part in the article where the sensor-only program will spend the next two years testing. IF we put a weapon on this, it won’t be till long after these initial tests are completed.
