In San Francisco, autonomous crime-fighting robots that are used to patrol parking lots, sports arenas, and tech company campuses are now being deployed to keep away homeless people.
The San Francisco Business Times reported last week that the San Francisco SPCA, an animal advocacy and pet adoption group, put a security robot to work outside its facilities in the gentrifying Mission neighborhood. The robot's presence is meant to deter homeless people from setting up camps along the sidewalks.
Last week, the City of San Francisco ordered the SF SPCA to keep its robot off the streets or be fined up to $1,000 per day for operating on sidewalks without a permit, according to the Business Times.

A SanFran Dalek?
Looks like the illegals are displacing the homeless.

It’s because in SanFran the police are so leftist and so intimidated, and the laws are so lax, that even major companies open their doors and employees can step out onto excrement and bums, many of the bums awake from last night and having a raving bum-fight (my big fear when I’m there is being caught up in the middle of one!) in the formerly most secure parts of town.
A robocop is meant to deter, not get into any personal hassles, have no liability - and clear the bums out. And if the ASPCA is going for it ...
Headline is misleading.
“Ex-ter-mi-nate”
That is a Knightscope K5. The guts are basically a Segway and a laptop.
Pretty genius!
I did part of my Masters in International Business at Oxford University with the founder/CEO William Santana Li.

“Caring for the poor is noble —just not FOR US...”
“Mercy for illegals in the Mission District is sooo worthy —just not FOR US...”
Throwing rocks at robots is more fun than shooting zombies!
Homeless have nothing to lose by destroying robots, they will have a ball finding new ways to do so.
Can’t have those homeless in the gentrifying neighborhood........

Nancy Pelosi: “San Francisco is the best example of living the Gospel”. (paraphrased)
Well, hey, the homeless don’t vote. Unless George Soros buses them in, of course.
Or find some way to have sex with it.
*chuckle*
YAY ! San Fran is SAVED !
I eagerly await one of these killer suppositories to run against Pelosi.
