Are they going to pull the same poo poo they do with the K9 units? If you shoot down a police drone its equal to shooting a human officer?

probably. the bomb disposal robots used in iraq all had pet names and soldiers would cry when they died

Who's the real criminal here? Is it the man robbing a gold bullion transport with a crew of highly-trained mercenaries, equipped with the latest in military technology, just to feed his family? Or is it the bloated rentacop, operating a robotic kill-vehicle from fifty miles away, leering at the thermal signatures of human beings as though they were ripe apples in a tree waiting to be picked?

Looks like the Robocop reboot wasn't as prophetic as we thought. The whole plot of the movie was based on how OCP couldn't get their war drones approved for domestic use and needed Robocop as a marketing tool, but it turns out they needn't have bothered. Americans would be tripping over themselves to get drone police.

"North Dakota legalises use of armed drones"

Is really all the headline you needed. Story owns. North Dakota owns. You don't even have to live there to pilot a drone, you know.

I'm trying to view all horrible news with optimism so give me a second.


Ok.... ok I think I have something that can ease the psychic burden of this story:

At least now maybe less black people will be shot to death by police because the policeman who is piloting the kill-bot will not immediately be fearful of his life (as he is safely sitting in a cushioned la-z-boy with a slice of pizza) and will not immediately escalate a black man sneezing into a summary execution.

Also, typing that gave me a comical image of cops being even fatter and more porcine than they generally are IRL due to the inactivity that piloting kill-mo-drones 24/7 will bring. :unsmith:

Just install miniaturized explosives in every citizens head, to be detonated at the governments will.

Eventually we'll give up the charade entirely and the lawbooks will just read "cops are allowed to kill you" with 0 qualifiers of any kind. At least then the state wont have to waste time and energy "investigating" the "police involved shooting".
