If it can smash glass, it can harm suspects. This is definitely not a tool for de-escalation at all. Police have been known to use lethal force in defense of property, so this doesn't actually solve any issues, this simply gives the police another tool to use against other citizens.
- craftinator 6y ago> If it can smash glass, it can harm suspects. This is definitely not a tool for de-escalation at all. Which is exactly why the police would employ it. America's worst, on the case!
- throwoutttt 6y agoShould potentially lethal force never be used to defend property under any circumstances?

- ipsum2 6y agoWe already have remote bomb detonation robots that have killed people. This isn't anything new: > Police in Dallas used a robot with an explosive device to kill a suspect involved in a coordinated ambush against officers. > The ambush occurred during a protest Thursday night over police-involved shootings elsewhere in the country. Five officers were killed and seven others were injured, as well as two civilians. https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/dallas-police-ambush/dallas-police-used-robot-bomb-kill-ambush-suspect-mayor-n605896 https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/dallas-police-ambush/dalla...
- Bancakes 6y agoFirst SWAT, then street cops. I'd rather get pulled over and talk to a drone at my window than an officer directly. Much safer this way, I can rummage my pockets all I want.
- vijayr02 6y agoWhy do you think the drone won't use lethal force if it suspects imminent harm? Do you know how expensive these things are? /s
