Dallas Shooter Killed With a Bomb?!?

That seems to be a sensible discussion of when robots should be used.

Well, here's the thing ...

DPD has had this capability for a long time. Many PDs have. They also already have an "ROE" Rules of Engagement based upon the capabilities and limitation of this device.

The wails which have been made and are alluded in the early npr article leap from this instance to drones flying overhead killing people ... the wailing has no regard for the process of command and control.

We're not about to have that monstrosity on RoboCop marching down the street cutting people down. IDK if that is where you were going, but you seemed to be connected to the cat shot ready for full blower (savvy?)

The BBC asks "What's next for death robots?"

Nash,
Black on black shoukd get as much ,no much more attention but it never will since the people who are accountable can not be held accountable.

Does "more attention" refer to media coverage? I'd argue that it doesn't get as much media attention because it doesn't impact you and I, the media consumers with $$. There are many community organizations trying to address with mixed success.

Wait...a discussion on the usage of robots (and drones) is "wailing"? Has anyone of note actually criticized the DPD for using it? Even in that article they reference the use as "understandable".

Evidently none of y'all are into futurist discussions like Bill Joy. The purpose and usage of robots discussion has been around awhile. Given that this is the first known time a PD has used one to kill an assailant, it's understandable that the discussion would revived in mainstream media. Or should it not be talked about at all?

What has BO said about the shootings in Chicago? They are on a record pace and last year set a record.
So far through July 6 there have been 2110 people shot compared to all of last year of 2988.
Does Chicago have loose gun laws? Can , as BO said today, a teen age get a glock?
Doesn't what is happening in BO's hometown impact hiM?
