Stop... or there will be trouble....

EDIT I guess technically Robocop was part human. I should have made an ED-209 reference instead

Police have quite literally used bomb robots carrying grenades to kill suspects for over a decade now (including a well known incident in Dallas where a suspect was killed in a parking garage using one).

This article only has traction because it's in CA and we all know about the conservatives on reddit and their anti-california circle jerk.

As long as these are human-controlled, where a human makes the decision to fire; then I’m good with this. This is similar to allowing police to use firearms, which gives them the ability to engage at a distance instead of fighting with knives, clubs, or hands. A robot can engage in situations that may be too dangerous for a human. That seems good to me.
