    the thing abt adams is that hes weird as fuck but hes weird in consistently surprising ways. I could never guess he'd go on a tangent abt hustle culture at a holocaust memorial. who could predict him making heart hands with a handless cop bot. his strangeness has no precedent

    Even though they could have designed it in any shape, they still made it look like a thumb-cop

      immediately thought the same thing

      It's like if you took a thumb-cop and turned it into an Olympic games mascot via some AI art thing.

        I could still take it

        They haven't made a shape of pig I couldn't make squeal yet

      Cop phrenology transcends mere humanity, even cop bots look like they eat nothing but fast food slop and think cardio is something that happens to other people

    Eagerly awaiting the news story of this thing getting trashed in its first two hours on the streets.

      I’m not sure what would be more satisfying, if someone takes a tire iron to the thing until it looks like a piece of abstract art, or if the programming goes haywire and it rolls itself off a pier into the harbor and the brackish waters immediately fry its circuits.

    Cop mayor and his consequences have been increasingly more disastrous to the city while also being increasingly more funny

    Is this just a webcam with wheels attached?

    Question 2, does placing a cardboard box on it constitute assault

      Dunno what it is.

      If the cops see you doing that - you're lucky if months later you don't wake up from a coma after they beat you into unconsciousness for "resisting arrest" and after that - you get indicted for a couple felonies. Which ones? Whatever the testilying cops come up with.

    Make sure to ridicule every cop you see working alongside this thing.

    Is that fucking thing really called a "knightscope"? God they're such fucking nerds, they probably thought that was really clever

      Some bloodthirsty bazingas are going to roll out "ED-209" for border enforcement in a few years, aren't they? doomer

          Clip of people killed at the border by police robot after being given "ten seconds to comply" circulates on /r/JusticeServed and /r/NextFuckingLevel, creating a circlejerk of such unprecedented proportions that thousands of Redditors faint from dehydration volcel-kamala

    Knightscope bots are also being used in Lowes and malls. One knocked over a toddler.

    Having cameras ans snitches everywhere wasn't enough, so now the police surveillance state rolls around in a shitty little robot.

      "I'm hungry."

      "How? We're not people - we don't have hunger or stomachs."

      "Let's get cheese burgers, chili fries, and vanilla milkshakes."

      "Okay. Wait. I'm getting a message in my hidden earpiece that there's a bank robbery in progress at the First National Bank eight and a half blocks away on Main Street."

      "Never mind the burgers. Let's catch some bad guys."

      To the dashboard he says: "Siren and flashing lights on." To his partner he says: "Hit it."

      And their EV patrol car burns rubber.
