Domestic drone policing will make citizens potential targets

Evidence

That reminder from the past connects with a more general lesson for the present: we should not forget that when this new weapon becomes a piece of equipment for not only the military forces but also the state’s police forces, it turns us into potential targets. — Grégoire Chamayou, A Theory of the Drone, 637
