minus-squareGloriousDoubleKlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·edit-22 years agoCops always had the “I felt my life was in danger” as an excuse. But then you get robots… Equiped with guns that have a spread instead of something with tighter precision. What scenario in law enforcement requires a shotgun robot? At least with a rifle, I can see them being used MAYBE in a hostage situation where accuracy matters. How can they spin it as anything BUT just a robot meant to kill? How is it not just a weapon of war?
