I hate them.

The NYPD will part ways with “Digidog,” the robotic police dog that became the subject of a City Council subpoena after images of it went viral.
The sudden termination comes after a clip of the machine patrolling a Manhattan housing project went viral, sparking backlash and drawing comparisons to the dystopic TV series “Black Mirror.”
“People had figured out the catchphrases and the language to somehow make this evil,”
earning jeers from local politicians including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who called it a “robotic surveillance ground drone.”

Unlikely this robodog could survive a Louisville Slugger?
But it has blinking lights!
Black mirror?
How about minority report?
I’m sure armed hover drones will be more acceptable.
Spray paint over eyeballs?
Needs mods to water-proof it for retrieving ducks. And a new name. Something like “0 digit-eDog.”
Or shop elsewhere!
—”I’m sure armed hover drones will be more acceptable.”
Defund the police?
To stretch funds, a platoon of robocops managed by overseas operators, for cost reasons.
Such a deal!
Sniffed someone in the privates? Humped a leg?
The Enforcement Droid Series 209, or ED-209, is a fictional heavily armed robot that appears in the RoboCop franchise. It serves as a foil for RoboCop, as well as a source of comic relief due to its lack of intelligence and tendency towards clumsy...

“ Sniffed someone in the privates? Humped a leg?”
No, worse, it delivered pizza!
Typical dumba@@ libtard thinking. How could you think a blue robot dog is “raciss”? I suppose these idiots think it’s better to sacrifice a live cop to ambush, which is becoming more prevalent, than sending in a robot dog. With the rate of NYC cops quite justifiably leaving as a result of extreme disrespect by DumblASSio et al, robot dogs might be the only cops NYC will be able to get. But public safety takes a very big second place to pandering to libtard snowflakes.
—” Its mouth contained a syringe that delivered a knock-out drug injection.”
In some areas of Chiraq a knock-out drug injection is considered a fun event.
Some are upset, because it could potentially be effective.
All it is, is a walking camera/mic.
But it is much cheaper than a human cop, when you factor in salary, benefits, and insurance, and that the robot can work 24/7.
The big thing that criminals could fear, is that its camera is continuously recording faces and locations. Add to it facial recognition software, and it can pick out people with outstanding warrants, and provide a list of likely suspects whenever a crime occurs.
—”Sniffed someone in the privates? Humped a leg?”
Only in AOC’s dreams.
—”Some are upset, because it could potentially be effective.”
BINGO!!!
“—”I’m sure armed hover drones will be more acceptable.””
And here are cameras all over the place.
Absolute stupidity to return this. It was probably the least intrusive and harmful tool the NYPD has bought in years. That and the fact that they would be able to survey a situation without any humans being harmed made it an overall plus for law enforcement.
I don’t think people realize how much not having officers at risk enables de-escalation in a standoff.
—”I don’t think people realize how much not having officers at risk enables de-escalation in a standoff.”
All true!
But they get to open their yap ON TELEVISION.
