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?
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]

I don't think it was DARPA, wasn't that Boston Dynamics?
