GP wasn't saying that one leads to another in a causal sense - simply that there are levels of dysfunction and this step is closer to the dysfunction of gunfire than the previous level.

Exactly. One of these days somebody is going to use a gun to defend someone from these masked/unmarked/unwarranted kidnappings.

The first time someone uses an impossible to trace drone to take out a law enforcement officer in the US is going to change everything.

The status quo has been that law enforcement can operate in an openly corrupt way with impunity because they can absolutely positively find someone who fights back.

But all the pieces are there for people to fight back with equal impunity. The technology is mature and deployed and has been tested in Ukraine and Syria for several years now.

It's just a matter of time before someone takes out a corrupt cop or ICE official and they get away away with it.

It will have a chilling effect on this kind of behaviour.
