The Cops will use Remote Control

[San Francisco's ruling Board of Supervisors
has voted to let the city's police
use robots that can kill.
The measure permits police to deploy
robots equipped with explosives
in extreme circumstances.

Dr Catherine Connolly, from the group
Stop Killer Robots, said the move was
a "slippery slope" that could distance
humans from killing.

The city's police - the SFPD - told the BBC they do
not currently operate any robots equipped
with lethal force.

They said though that there may be future scenarios
in which lethal force could be used by a robot.]

If robots are being used rather than people, then there should be absolutely zero need for lethal force.

The Cop will use Remote Control.

The Criminal firing his gun
can be killed, that way

Yes Deadly Force
via Remote Control.

[They also said robots could be used to "incapacitate,
or disorient violent, armed, or dangerous suspects who pose
a risk of loss of life".]


Makes Great Sense

Police just need better body armour capable of stopping assault weapons

[thesheriff443]

Within the body armour it should be able to produce full body taser shock if it he wearer is grabbed

You will comply because you reject freedom.

Freedom has to be fought for against people who want power. Always has been, always will be.

Killing machines without feelings or remorse? Sounds just like regular cops

It's just a way of removing what little consequence they already face.

Well I live just across the bay in Oakland, and I don't have a problem with this. obviously it's only going to be used in dire circumstances.

The Feelings
come from the Remote Control
of the Cop.
