This makes Vice look like state media. If they were capable of being real, independent journalists, they'd say "government says there were no drones", not mindlessly parroting.

>CDPS “confirmed no incidents involving criminal activity, nor have investigations substantiated reports of suspicious or illegal drone activity.” In other words, they found nothing.

This doesn't say "they found nothing." It says "they found nothing illegal."

So what if they're testing drone swarms anyways. It's inevitable.
