***This is where I 100% DISAGREE. We have all worked hard for what We have. Why should We not defend It if required?

#SanFrancisco "#killer #police #robots" plan put on hold - CBS News

San Francisco #supervisors voted Tuesday to put the brakes on a #controversial #policy that would have let police use robots for #deadlyForce, reversing course just days after their approval of the #plan generated fierce #pushback and #warnings about the #militarization and #automation of #policing.

@kubikpixel I see two reasons where such robots could be wished for:

1️⃣ Police needs to fight an organization so powerful that they don't care about a "few" deaths, on either side.

2️⃣ We create people so desperate that they think they have nothing left to lose.

(And yes, there might be cases where 1+2 could be linked.) #Dystopia #Police #robot #deadlyForce
