San Francisco Police Department clarified that it would not seek to arm any of its robots with firearms but rather with explosives as an "intermediate force option" that could prove to be lethal.

Lmao, I was naïve enough to think this wasn’t really gonna happen, and the libs weren’t gonna go and endorse dollar store Robocop, but :yea:

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.

    It can’t even be denied now that all cops are huge cowards and will never put themselves in harms way to protect the public. Which is the reason they’ve been telling us they need to exist for the last century.

    All cops do is loot the commons so they can roll around the place in armoured personnel carriers like they are patrolling Fallujah circa 2004 and LARP as their favorite Call of Duty characters.

    Defund the Police. Death to America.
