Dean Preston remains a tiny dot of light in California politics:
"We’re talking about a sniper in a fully occupied hotel, and the solution... would be to put a bomb-bearing robot to blow up that hotel?" Preston asked about the Vegas scenario. Of the suicide bomber, he asked, “We’re going to use a robot with a bomb to subdue a suicide bomber?”
Just amazing to think the levels of violence that are going to be unleashed on poor people in the next 20 years.
Damn, why aren’t police unions fighting against automation? Every time someone threatens my job with automation I’m like “damn I wish I had a union”

Exactly, they just get to keep their jobs and play with new robot bomb toys
