The end of robot security at the Big Apple's most busy subway station comes after Adams called the tech part of the system's future.

I looked but couldn’t find an “after” picture. Is it now grimy, graffiti-covered, dented, maybe some bullet holes?

What happened is that miscreants and juvenile delinquents were pushing this RoboCop machine over. The machine was obviously top heavy.
For NYC it is back to the drawing board. The real 1987 RoboCop was equipped, not stripped
_________________
From Bing AI>>>>>>>
In the 1987 film “RoboCop”, the iconic cybernetic law enforcement officer, Alex Murphy, is equipped with an impressive array of weaponry. Let’s delve into the armaments that make RoboCop a formidable force:
Auto 9 (Beretta 93R): RoboCop’s primary sidearm is the “Auto 9”, a heavily modified Beretta 93R machine pistol. This weapon features a longer barrel with an enormous compensator/flash hider shaped like a casket. RoboCop typically fires it in 3-round burst mode. The fictional stats claim an implausibly huge 50-round magazine1. !RoboCop firing the Auto 9
Heavy Weapons:
Cobra Assault Cannon (Barrett M82): RoboCop wields this powerful weapon, which is essentially a modified Barrett M82 sniper rifle. In the film, it’s referred to as the “Cobra Assault Cannon”1.
!RoboCop with the Cobra Assault Cannon
Hawk MM1 Grenade Launcher: Another heavy weapon in RoboCop’s arsenal is the Hawk MM1, a formidable grenade launcher1.

ED-209 Armaments: The ED-209, a fearsome law enforcement robot, also appears in the film. It’s armed with various weapons, including machine guns and a twin-barreled autocannon1. !ED-209 with its twin-barreled autocannon

When I see the picture of this Stupid Thing, why does the word Weeble come to mind??
Weebles Wobble but they Don’t Fall Down.
Bullet holes, dents graffiti, but they didn’t fall down. Or have they???

Indeed. It looks like R2D2, but nine months along.

Either that or there was “consideration”. Robot company gets the contract. NYC officials get a kickback.
