Standoff!
Yep! definitely a Distributist!
A U.S. citizen has been jailed thanks to evidence from a Predator drone for the first time. Police deployed the drone, ordinarily used to track down and assassinate terrorists and militants in countries such as Pakistan and Afghanistan, following a stand-off between officers and farmer Rodney Brossart, who has now been jailed for six months. Brossart was initially accused - and subsequently cleared - of stealing six cows worth $6,000 (£3,625) from a neighbour. But the drone was used when he refused to allow officers on to his 3,600-acre farm in Lakota, North Dakota - despite them having a warrant. When police went to collect the lost cattle in the summer of 2011, three of Brossart's sons - Alex, Jacob and Thomas - allegedly confronted Nelson County Sheriff Kelly Janke with rifles and shotguns. That's when the sheriff summoned a $154 million MQ-9 Predator B drone from nearby Grand Forks Air Force Base, where it was patrolling the US-Canada border for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Using a handheld device that picked up the video camera footage from the spy plane, Sheriff Janke was able to watch the movements of everyone on the farm. During a 16-hour standoff, the sheriff and his deputies waited until they could see the remaining Brossarts put down their weapons. Daily Mail Read More>>>>
