A quote, "So loveable, it tugs at our heart strings." WHAT???
And before one of you uhh achksullys me, yes I know that is a paintball gun. Just broaden your imagination a bit more please and include the NYPD in this imagination.

I don't say this often cause it's kinda silly most of the time. But this really is manufactured consent for thinking we need robot dogs having guns. It escalated so fast from a bomb detector/natural disaster aid to a fucking walking turret. All under the guise that oh isn't technology so cute!!! uwu
The military has been doing it for almost two decades now. It only seems logical the NYPD, with a budget bigger than entire countries would also follow the same path
hmm, i wonder if there's a term for when the tactics and weaponry used by an empire on its frontier begins being used on its own citizens
