Well, Ted Bundy got a trial. But you are right, a police officer would have shot him had he caught Ted in the act and no one would think badly of it. I suppose this is the difference. If the person being struck by a drone actually had a machine gun and was using it when he was struck than yes... a crime was being stopped with lethal force. If he is at home asleep and you send a drone to kill him at a time he is not engaged in the act maybe you are veering into extra-judicial execution. And that is why this is problematic.
