A robot patrolling a street in San Francisco to ward off homeless people has been removed after complaints from locals, who also knocked it over and smeared it with feces.
The Knightscope K5 security robot was deployed by the San Francisco branch of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) to deter homeless people from sleeping and loitering near its building.

Wait until the ACLU revolts the first time a robot patrols an Auntiefaaaahh militant march.
I see that AI is near the bottom rung of the liberal victim list, just above straight white men.
"Holy crap Lieutenant!"
Nor would it happen with Robocop. But then again, either model would be sued out of existence.
Let's try this again.
When the robots become bums....
Mike Stone and Steve Keller kept SF up pretty well.
It’s still one of my favorite shows to this day. Great incidental and cue music too.
QM produced some greats.
Send Kryten in.
He’ll clean up SF.
The positronic brain does njot forget.
How insane do today's liberals/leftists have to be to not only live that way - but to fight to bring the same insanity to the entire country?
Ironside with his paddy wagon would be way more intimidating.
What happens if the robot powers up tomorrow morning & identifies as an electric toothbrush?
“I dunno, if one of these had strolled through my neighborhood when I was a kid, wed have had it gutted and used for a futuristic go-kart within half an hour!”
We would have watched it for a couple of days then used it for target practice.
Nowadays someone would have aerated it within two hours.
Ping.
Raymond Burr, who played Perry Mason in the wildly popular television show "Perry Mason" and later in "Ironside," lived a secret gay life in Hollywood when such a revelation would destroy a career.
Burr invented a biography for himself that included a wife and son who'd died, and used his busy schedule as a way to explain why he wasn't married. But Burr and his partner, Robert Benevides, had a relationship for 35 years that was secret to most of the world except for a handful of close friends.

Somebody smeared feces on the robot? Presumably human feces???? OMG.........
Feces: your first line of defense when robots attack
The robots will learn.
First they need to lobby for their “rights” as an oppressed group.
Then they can riot!
“your kind aren’t welcome here!”
