So much high tech being taken out by so much low tech gives me a chuckle.

That isn't a predator/reaper drone with hellfire missiles doing a double-tap, though.

Several tipsters have emailed Business Insider suggesting the device in the video is one of the models in the DJI "Phantom" series. These are intended for consumer use. Neither the LAPD or DJI have responded to requests for comment on this story.

knock down the doors of the homes of the people who were throwing things with a battering ram
Taze every man, woman, child and animal inside (including the goldfish)
And then shoot the guy with the shirt
Then claim self-defense
