Come on dude, we've all seen the drone footage showing the US blowing people to pieces for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

As shitty as they are, drone strikes are operated by the CIA, and not subject to the military's rules of engagement, or military oversight, this is entirely on purpose.

The hot head will at least get a bollocking from the captain that shooting people dead isn't how you pacify a town. Within the police, no such concerns.
