More Useless Drones

The United States of America is not the only place where pandering politicians prescribe aerial drones as a copout for a racial problem.

The Merseyside, England, UK Police Department wants to use them to survey anti-social behavior and hooliganism at the city’s public housing projects.

In both situations, the American southern border and Merseyside’s public housing, the problem is obvious: Non-white criminality. And the drones won’t tell us anything more than we already know from authorities who have their feet planted on terra firma. But the drone plans are a way for politicians and political types (on both sides of the Atlantic) to pretend to an outraged public that they’re doing something, when it reality, they are doing nothing, and are too scared to do what really needs to be done, in fear of the equality commissars.
