> In the field, lethal force happens because people are forced to make snap judgements. There are countless examples of cops killing people in situations that were not potentially harmful nor in situations where they were "forced" to make snap judgments. Robots aren't going to fix the problem of cops abusing power or killing people with impunity simply because they can. Turning the killing of real living civilians into a video game for cops isn't going to end well.

> Robots aren't going to fix the problem of cops abusing power or killing people with impunity simply because they can. You're taking a few examples, and conflating it with all cops. Yes, cops that acted badly will still act badly with this. But that's only some cops! For the ones who wouldn't act badly, this will help.
