Can't speak for GP, but while I find the actual deployment of killing technology abhorrent no matter where it may occur, I think there's also additional bad faith to be seen in the pretext that these devices are initially about "national defense" (or some other similarly outdated platitude) but then are quickly introduced as a part of routine domestic law enforcement practice.

We're led to believe that there is some wall of separation between these two, and the rapidity of adoption of this tech for domestic purposes reminds us quite clearly that that isn't so.
