NYPD pulls the plug on its Times Square subway police robot (RoboCop Fail)

NYPD has pulled its robot security cops from the Times Square subway station The end of the AI security system comes just months after Mayor Eric Adams unveiled the robots and described them as 'part of the fabric' of the future It's unclear whether the AI program was considered a success, but New Yorkers are glad that the robots are out NYPD's security robot has been pulled from its Times Square subway station post just months after Eric Adams described it as 'part of the fabric' of the future.

New York Police Department unveiled its fleet of 'Big Brother' robocops that would patrol the city's streets and subways in April.

In September, Mayor Eric Adams announced another robot would be joining the department - an almost 400-pound robot to roam the Times Square - 42nd Street subway station and patrol the mezzanine level of the station. The AI-driven security robots are no longer being deployed in New York City's transit system, officials confirmed on Sunday.

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.

There is so much irony to be found in progressive failures.
A mixed pleasure to see the most recent proof of the idiocy of the liberal mindset.
Despite every proof of error the climate alarmists, ESG cultists, affirmative action promoters, criminal enablers, and their ilk will continue to claim the high ground and strut their stuff.

What the hell is up with that first pic? Is Adams trying the Vulcan Death Grip on the robocop?

Did the big guy get his 10% from the contract? Asking for a friend.

Between, Adams; Hokel; and Biden, it’s a real toss up as to who is the biggest jerk and joke here in America. I could have added a whole lot of more names, like everyone in the current Biden administration, but I am sure that most who read this get the idea.

Is Adams really as stupid as he appears to be?

Yes. Yes he is.

I didn’t catch specifically why it was pulled. One activist on the video complained it was illegal surveillance. My guess is that it was useless in preventing crime.

It needed a flame thrower. Melt them down.

looks like it’s a cousin to the robot floor cleaners Sam’s Club uses in their stores ... they don’t work all that well, either ...
