:yea:
I hate this fucking state. Every god damned day I am reminded that chuds think "commiefornia" is some liberal paradise where we've removed the police, meanwhile it's actually a new functional pillar for what will become new horrifying elements of police fascism all the while neoliberals continue to fuck over anyone and everyone who's net-worth isn't in the seven digits.
California: all the regulations of a European country, none of the perks.
Somebody is going to shine a laser into one of these things cameras and it's just gonna mag dump into a school bus or something.
Please put down your weapon. You have 20 seconds to comply.
I knew when they used the bomb on a robot to kill Micah Johnson it was only a matter of time until the police would start using these platforms for weapons. And it's so funny because DARPA and shit swore up and down it's robots were never going to be armed. Who the fuck trusts a defense manufacturer, let alone DARPA?
Both.
Senior Corporal Jeremy Borchardt and others ultimately arrived at the idea to use a bomb disposal remote control vehicle armed with about 1 pound (0.45 kilograms) of C-4 explosive. The plan was to move the robot to a point against a wall facing Johnson and then detonate the explosives.[25][31][32][33][34][35] The device exploded as intended at approximately 2:30 a.m., killing Johnson immediately.[36] It was the first time that explosives strapped to a robot had been used in American domestic law enforcement.[27] Although its arm sustained damage in the blast, the robot was still functional.[37]
When one of these kills someone illegally, there will be no one to put on administrative leave. And certainly no one to charge with a crime.
Convince Elon Musk that we would all be super owned if he bought Skynet
Then he could work his way into lockheed
this is how revolutions begin
Is this any different from what the drone program has always been, principally?
How long until an honest-to-god Predator strike against a US citizen on US soil?
I’d say quite possible in the next Republican administration, be it 2024 or 2028, should there be a wave of protest. DHS need that executive cover.
But the predator drone is too inefficient, they'd use a shorter range drone instead
Why would they use the one that gets a lobbyist less money in his pocket?
in cyberpunk (ik ik :soypoint-1:) you could hack the robot to shoot at the cops :thonk:
Eta to someone being charged with murdering a law cop for shooting a robot?
