Actually it does sound really far fetched that the CIA, an external intelligence service, is out flying hexacopters over American orchards. Do these things even have any practical value for spies given how unwieldy and conspicuous they are?
If it had been state surveillance it would have much more likely been the local sheriff looking for grow-ops with their new toy helicopter. In which case shooting it down would be a sure fire way to get the attention of the cops and have them come look at your grow-op. I see no other explanations but malice or mental illness.
That crazies are fair game to American cops is indeed a problem, but in most western countries you can actually identify mental illness and not have the cops show up to shoot the poor bugger. That's what you need to work on, not "stigmatizing language". I suppose I should have given a trigger warning too, just in case.
