Sometimes, bordering on always, I wish I had a drone to do all my [dirty] work. Something to blog for me, read and analyze exit polls from post-Maasticht Eastern Europe, grind to level 70, etc. Now, police officers in Miami will have drones patrol the skies for them provided the FAA gives its blessing. The little robotic drones (see a patriotic video of them in action here) will fight bad guys in numerous ways, from shooting deadly laser beams to shooting deadlier leaser beams*.

Miami, slowly turning into City 17. Good for the city.

*No it won’t
