As a PA resident, game/fish wardens don't have a reputation for helping people.

I doubt any fish and game wardens in the US are known for helping, or being liked. They're more or less just another alphabet agency full of state owned bureaucrats.
So drones are also "science" now?
If so, it sounds like this guy was just "following the science". 
man there's a lot there.
First of all, what the game warden did was BS. He wasn't using the drone to hunt, he believed he was using it to track a dying animal. Game warden is crooked.
Second, I see nothing inherently wrong with using a drone to track a dying animal that will otherwise go to waste if it's not found.
However, I do disagree with using a drone to actually hunt, and I can understand why it would make sense to prohibit drone use for tracking a dying animal because the presence of drones for legitimate purposes would make it much more difficult to enforce the law against using drones to hunt. But if they're going to prohibit using a drone to track a dying animal, it needs to be clearly spelled out in the law and left open for being variably enforced based on the interpretation of each individual game warden.
I have a friend that ran into a helpful game warden in CO, during an elk hunt. After shooting an elk, and while dragging/hauling the body out of the woods, a game warden asked to see the tag. My friend was told, "you didn't fill this out correctly, let me show you how".
In PA, it would have been, "fill that out correctly, and here's a citation for your efforts".
In my experience, and hearing from friends, it's about a 50/50 here. Some are ok, others are on a mission to be an asshole. Cops on the street seem to be the same.
Both of those (fish cops and people cops) have had major attitude changes over the decades I've been on this big ol' rock hurtling through space. Remember Andy Griffith? Best example of how a cop should be. Adapt behavior to the circumstances. However, our culture no longer allows that. We no longer have basic respect for others. People will simultaneously complain about someone using the wrong pronoun, while cutting in line at the grocery store. It's so bad that I find myself being drawn into that behavior occasionally. I have to remind myself to be nice. Sad.
I feel for cops and game wardens having to deal with people all day long who have an entitlement mindset. I certainly wouldn't want to do that day in and day out...

I wouldn't do that job, not for anything less than pro football money, but my feeling towards these guys is tarnished from previous personal experiences with LEOs, and from knowing a handful personally who I've heard things from directly.
"Idaho halts execution by lethal injection after 8 failed attempts to insert IV line... repeatedly failed to find a vein where they could establish an intravenous line to carry out the lethal injection."
How does that happen? Maybe they should just take him down to Walgreens and get a covid shot from pfizer. I'm here all week.

incompetence in the person responsible for setting the IV.
well, think of the applicant pool for that position. If someone is even halfway decent at placing an IV they're probably going to be working in a hospital.
Some people can be difficult. I end up almost passing out about half the time I get blood drawn because they put the needle in there and have to dig around with it for a couple minutes trying to get it to flow. I haven't had a lot of IV's but the last time I warned the nurse and she still struggled even after confidently assuring me she was skilled at it. I've been led to believe my experience isn't typical.
I assume that person is a RN, likely subcontracted through a local health care system, but I could be wrong.
That's what I'm thinking.
This is incredible. And will be wasted within a decade as sooo many apply and the admissions will dilute the applicants or take in too many.
It should have been set up as a pay foreward where each alum sponsers a student after graduation and mentors for 4 years.
I taught my share of masters engineering to kids out of college that didn't get engineering education in college. Too much testing, not enough problem solving.
I could be wrong too. I was picturing a full time prison nurse that applied for the job knowing what it was with a line for "administering lethal injection" in the job description. I feel like that would most easily explain both the incompetence and intentionality angles but I have no idea how that stuff works.
Based on the people my wife (radiographer) works with, it seems like the majority of that field probably objects to capital punishment, so I can imagine an "activist" committing career suicide by intentionally screwing it up in an effort to effect "change".
