The San Francisco Police Department is currently petitioning the city's Board of Supervisors for permission to deploy robots to kill suspects based on whether an officer feels threatened.

I remember this. I do have some sympathy for the officer, he had no idea she was in the dressing room. Not that that excuses it, but I've seen officers do worse than this guy.,

So, either they are going to start shooting civilians, or the cops are going to shoot the robots themselves.

So they can blow up property as well as the bad guys?

Someone show them the LAPD blowing up a city block with fireworks.

Fla. sheriff: Students no longer fear getting ‘a-- cheeks’ ‘torn off’, need new discipline policy

Sure is a great sign when you are announcing new discipline guidelines with the cops and in front of the jail. I'm sure nothing is going to go wrong there. Just ignore all stats of school cops.

Until the first collateral damage report.....

Wow..... I see a lawsuit coming!

[Sithborg]

For some reason, I think there is more to the story. Likely, not favorable to the cop.

 

[Sithborg]

Also, you gotta love how knocking out power to 40,000 people by shooting power stations becomes "intentional vandalism" when the culprits are likely white.

So stupid....

They will change the crime to terrorism or something more serious if they turn out to be not white.

Nothing like abusing citizens and getting workers comp for it.

This doesn't even make sense. Were the victims compensated as well? Geez.....

 

[Teelie]

Doubtful. Cops can and will do all kinds of crimes and not only get away with it but get paid to do so.
