Such concerns were highlighted when a Predator drone was spotted over Minneapolis during protests that turned violent in May.

You know what? I'm completely fine with the government at the very least monitoring when hundreds of people are looting, rioting, burning, and in some cases murdering their neighbors. Apparently police aren't able to do so much as use tear gas or arrest rioters, much less shoot anyone committing violent felonies now. If they can't even look at crime in progress then we're going to be on a clear path to anarchy.

The lives of thousands have people in Minnepolis have been ruined by these idiots. Entire businesses are gone, many of them minority owned. But the government can't do anything because of "muh privacy"?

Bring on the drones! You have no right to privacy in public, especially when you're fucking over your neighbor.

No no no no, please don't cheer on more government monitoring because of the rioters. Keep the issues separate. It's like how the patriot act was passed after 9/11.

Ah yes, the Patriot Act. The bill that every liberal told use would end the country as we knew it and rob us all of our rights...nearly 20 years ago. The bill now most elected liberals have voted to reaffirm and don't publicly care about anymore.
