(Technically it wasn’t a true ‘robot’, just a remote controlled vehicle with manipulator arms)
Oh. Just a vehicle. At any rate, robot lives matter more than black racists cop killers !
So it’s a drone. Police used an armed drone to kill someone.
Like I said before, it’s genius. This guy wasn’t robbing a liquor store here. He had an entire city pinned down. Police shielded civilians (Even BLM members). The police weren’t bad here.
The thing i’m worried about is this technology becoming comfortable. Like Tasers did. Police use Tasers to get someone’s attention now. It’s totally out of hand.
So how long before I’m pulled over, my plates run, and the squad car deploys a robot to approach me because I’m a CCW holder ?
This method will be heralded as the best thing since sliced bread. LEO will be designing these robots to deploy more and more. It’s never a “This one time” thing.
Again, understand that I’m on PD side with this. They were pinned down in a war scenario protecting civilians. I heard it on their scanners. That happened.
But what’s next for killbots ?
