Next big debate : banning kill bots !

[Timmy]

the more I think about the Dallas kill it the more I think it's the next big civil rights issue.

First I figured it was a stun grenade , but now it's more like they were out to blow up the guy.

Drones in war zones is one thing , drones used by local police is another .

Very grey area . You can use deadly force if it's a situation where you need to protect lives . But if a peep is just dealing wh a robot , is anyone's life in danger to justify deadly force ?

 

[SassyIrishLass]

He killed cops, in Texas no less, he was already a dead man

It's not a drone. However, I too do have some concerns on this. Why wasn't a stun grenade used? Was it because they didn't have any? Was a stun grenade used but it was so close it fatally wounded Johnson? Without details and context, we can't know if this decision was justifiable or not.

Yes we know the police are above the law . That's what got us here .

But as tech gets better and better you have more ethical dilemmas .

 

[whitehall]

Damn, five Police Officers are assassinated and all they can talk about is an exploding robot?

Who even knew the police had kamikaze robots !?

Or maybe the overdid stun grenades in order to make the blast fatal??

Dude . There's like 15 threads about the dead cops. Taking another angle here.

 

[blackhawk]

Thursday night was an extraordinary event to say the least when you have someone targeting and killing police you might have to use less than conventional means to stop them I don't believe that using a robot to deliver an expolsive is going to become a common practice though.

Nope, drone away

It's only the first use. Expect more. If a land robot is okay, how about a drone with a Hellfire missile against a bunch of armed protesters threatening LEOs?

Robbing the local 7/11 tonight don't seem like a good idea to you now Timothy does it?

The robot survived, so no kamikaze.

Was the intent to kill the suspect or simply incapacitate him?

 

[rightwinger]

When do our cops get killer drones?

Fly them overhead with a remotely detonated grenade
