Oh, I get it now.

These “mysterious drones” have all been flying from the police this entire time so articles like this will be written which in turn helps the police get more funding.

Then the moment the police get their kill drones they’ll somehow solve the case!

(This is all tinfoil hat nonsense, of course)

The unbelievable part is that THEY would bother using actual flying drones to manufacture an emergency. Deepfake videos and bot armies to spread them are too easy.

There’s not as much tinfoil in your statement as you might initially think as sad as that is to say.

The one thing stopping me from believing that, is that police aren’t clever enough to come up with something like this.
