How will cops justify deadly force if they can't claim they feared for their safety?

  Something something qualified immunity. It'll still work.

  Since there is no legal precedent ruling that remote robot kills are unconstitutional, officers piloting these robots will be immune from prosecution.

Your premise as framed would only support the conclusion that ibdividual would enjoy civil immunity under the QI doctrine. They could still be criminally prosecuted, and their agency would not be civilly immune.

      That's true, but in practice criminal prosecution of police is even less likely to happen than successful civil suits.
