Re:Oakland cops hope to arm robots with lethal shotguns by moistly on Monday October 17, 2022 @10:23PM (#33242239)
I don’t understand why they don’t use a tranquilizer gun. There’s no need to murder people with a remote-control robot when you could just knock them out instead. Or use the sticky silly-string stuff that immobilizes them. Or a concussion grenade. Or taser.

So many (usually) non-lethal options but, no, they choose kill. I guess the big advantage is that there’ll be no need for subsequent prosecution. Handy, that.
