RE: Ethics of drone killing on American soil?
The decision to use deadly force is independent from the choice of what kind of force to use.

I'm not so sure. When a SWAT team moves in and starts with tear gas and flash bangs, a suspect can always throw away their weapons and spread eagle on the floor. But with a drone strike, your dead before you know it.
When they send in a drone, the ability for the suspect to change their mind and give up is greatly reduced.
