can you guys imagine what will happen when robots get good enough that the police will just be able to remote control them instead of being in person?bullet/knife/melee/pepper spray resistant officers, there will never be a protest again
>>83838854there will be more violence as nobody cares about hurting a robot and will resort to violence more often to get out of shit.
>>83838926yeah but whole nobody cares about hurting a robot, everybody cares a lot about having their shins kicked in and being shocked by a metallic robot
>>83838971That is true but no one will be punching them bots, people will be molotoving them, stoning them and beating them into scrap with pipes. >Just put a gun on the botTerrorizing your civilians with firearm wielding machines is a surefire way to get hung by a mob
>>83839004they're already killing soldiers with gun drones in russia, and anyway if you have completely impervious gun drones that can't be hurt using conventional attacks or great marksmanship, who will be able to hang the gun drone owners?
>>83839027What is useful for armies isn't useful for the police. To terrorize and control your human subjects you need actual boots on the ground to search homes, find contraband, interview people for insurgents, and stop riots. If they are humans, you can arrest or punish people for killing them. If they are robots, they are just a stack of minerals. They have no life, so no murder or maim is commited. Punishing people for murder for destroying machines will have leaders hung with piano wire.Also Quadcopter drones are absolutely not "impervious", and having them shoot at civilians will absolutely have leaders (or at least those responsible for their manufacturing) once again, you guessed it, hung with piano wire.
