I don't believe it is very prudent of the military to operate
equipment designed for use in the war theater(s) domestically.


Do you have any rational basis for that belief?


It appears that you do not.




I believe an out of control UAV, as occurred in this instance, is a
potential hazard. If you disagree, please permit me to fly a Raven
UAV into your windshield at freeway speeds, or into a group of school
children on a playground. :-(


How would you fly an out of control Raven UAV into my windshield at
freeway speeds, or into a group of school children on a playground. Why
would you desire to do that? Do you hate children? Do you hate me?



I have no idea, other than this one incident. Is that information
publicly accessible with or without a FOIA request?


Beats me. When you find out let me know.
