SFPD is authorizing the use of robots for killing suspects

[Saltwater60]

I found this interesting and this guy seems upset about it. I get his point but why put lives in danger if you don’t need to? On the flip side of course this can be abused. Not sure how I feel about this.

SFPD authorized to kill suspects using robots in draft policy

A policy proposal heading for Board of Supervisors approval next week would explicitly authorize San Francisco police to kill suspects using robots. The

And the arms race escalates.

Soon perps will be using armed drones and "robots", too.

San Fran, huh? I suspect the bot's targeting system aim will be right of center.

This is very much in line with Robo cop and I am very happy to see this. This is awesome. Take the guess work and emotion out of killing the vermin that is a cancer upon good people.

Hollywood tells us years in advance what is planned for the future. Robo cop is just one example of this. The list goes on and on and I am a Yes vote for this kind of tech use

Jesus, lets hope this thing isn't running on a Tesla A.I.

Does the robot answer the door? If so, I want one.

Approved and they have no specific plan in place. How does this get approved without a policy on how or when they will use them? I thought the cops were bad and needed to be defunded but now they can buy super expensive robots or blow them up?
