the main issue with drone strikes is that drone operators usually watch and do surveillance on their target for days or even weeks before pulling the trigger.
so they see him going about his daily life, kiss his wife, giving his friends high fives, playing xbox, tying his shoes, throwing a pizza box in the trash can but then realizing he didn't look at the temperature and time so he has to get it back out and look, etc, you get the idea. And they come to relate to these people as humans. then they have to press a button and watch them explode on the FLIR into a pile of smoking white jelly. it might actually be easier to just be on the ground and shoot a dude imo, depending on how close he is. at least then you don't have to watch him give his daughter a hug.

everyone on reddit is focusing on the minutiae of this particular case, but the fact is that the ferguson PD has been an unfortunate example of institutionalized racism for a while now. this was just the straw that broke the camel's back, whether the verdict was correct or not. The logs have been piling up on this bonfire for a long time and this was the event that finally sparked it, but redditors are a bunch of STEM majors with no idea how to deal with ambiguity so they're focusing on this binary "yes/no" verdict and picking a "side".
