Yes, that’s a Montgomery Co. map on the armored vehicle. I’ve known they’ve had that drone for a while but wow. Our relatives there had no clue about the drone and no clue as to the significance.

Hey, funny story. The 1st drone they received through DHS grants was destroyed in an accident.

The Sheriffs office thought, why don't we hold a photo op of our SWAT capabilities. So, they all gathered together, dressed up in their lil black/olive get-ups, donning all their military toy’z and stuff. Bearcat Armored vehicle in the background.

So, what better way to get the money shot than to fly their newly acquired surveillance drone overhead and capture the inglorious moment.

HOUSTON...we have a problem!!! The operator lost contact with the drone. It began buzzin around out of control, causing Swat dudes to run for cover...and finally crashed into the side of the Bearcat SWAT van.

I thought....wow! It's good day.
