      I was referring to an earlier event where San Francisco police proposed to use remotely operated robots in barricaded suspect situations to disorient or otherwise disable a shooter without putting additional lives at risk. Like putting a stun grenade and a breaching explosive on an RC car. The proposal was rejected, with one official admitting to not even understanding it, but voting nay because police robot bad.

      That was apparently going too far, but using autonomous weapons in an international dick-waving contest is somehow okay because the targets are non-citizens on foreign soil.

        I don’t think the people who were against that robot are the same people who are supporting autonomous killer drones

          They’re hanging men and women for the wearing of the blue, but I’m not allowed to generalize an entire demographic? How does that work?

            The last mob killing of a police officer I can name is when that guy got his skull caved in by Jan 6th rioters, thats the only thing close to “hanging… for weraing the blue” i can name.
