    This is such a tricky subject.
    You could go with a more strict gun regulations. Coupled with more help for vulnerable people. And free mental healthcare.
    Or.
    MUTHERFUDGING DRONES, bitches.

    It’s such a tricky subject. So tricky.

        In fact I’d prefer if people just used the actual cuss words. Self-censoring is such a bullshit. Social media is a plague on our species.

          I need more things to have a block censorship option. Like streaming music services often have a ‘block explicit’ option. I want a ‘block censored’ option.

            YouTube has a thing where if you’re on data and not wifi, they will not let you watch explicit videos even if you’re signed into your account, which may or may not be old enough to drink, itself.

            You have to do a thing in your phone’s connection settings and hook it to a specific DNS (like “dns.adguard.com”, which allows you to play mobile games while connected to a network without any ads)

        man I made an account just to go troll idiots and holy shit is their moderation ever so fucking bad

        people can say “I would drive over them” about people crossing a bridge, but if you say, “I’d drive over you tbh”, nope, not okay.

        not to mention the dumb automatic word filters regardless of context

          Argument? Nah. Just trying to help someone who seems to need help in forcefully expressing themselves.

    “It’s a bit like that movie The Matrix, where the agent can jump into the nearest person and immediately be good to go. We’re a little bit like that—but we’re the good guys,”

    Article says there’s a pepper ball launcher and a glass hammer, so this thing is mainly for surveillance and mild distractions, which is much better than I was prepared to read.

    "Currently, an officer’s job is to run toward gunfire, alone, with no support or intel—basically a standoff. With our drones, they’re not alone; they know what the suspect looks like, what they’re doing, and we take point around every corner.

    “We usually find the shooter before they do and keep them occupied. Every officer who’s seen this live has said they want it.”

    If this actually encourages them to do their jobs, great. If this is just a kickback to private industry and further militarizing schools while police still sit cowering, than I know where they can dock those drones…

      It’s a foot in the door because of that attitude. No one jumps straight to Gatling guns on drones at the elementary school they might however do pepper ball, then tazer, then hard markers, rubber bullets, actual bullets.

      “Currently, an officer’s job is to run toward gunfire, alone, with no support or Intel”

      That’s a lie, they don’t run toward gunfire at all. And they’ll wait until they have at least three departments of officers before doing anything.

      If they want to break glass as a distraction they can do that already, they don’t need a drone. And their plan to break glass will startle an already on edge and unstable shooter, instead of using tactics to de-esecalate the situation. Also, isn’t this what swat is for? They have no qualms about flashbanging babies in cribs but when it comes to an actual situation all of a sudden they need drones so no cops are in any iota of danger.

    It is funny how americans think that more guns will prevent gun violence. Then again, they think that more pills will prevent drug problem.

    Yeah so we tried nothing and nothing worked!

    Then we tried arming the teachers but they accidentally shot themselves and the students!

    So now we’re trying armed drones with AI doing the triggering because there just ain’t any other solution to this problem!

    I mean the entire world has this problem, every day we read about multiple countries facing multiple school shootings per day, every single day, and nobody found any solution ever!

    So AI killer drones are the only way to move education forward, there is no other solution available Right?

      i’m not sure these are AI drones, these might be remote sniper drones. which is still terrifying as fuck, considering how easy it is to find default logins for all the ALPRs everywhere and then see how many have not been changed [note for legal reasons i am not encouraging you to do this, definitely not without a good trusted VPN]

        There are sites that will literally just connect you to random cameras all over the world that are hooked up to the internet with no security except obscurity and hope. Wouldn’t be surprised if these drones start showing up on them.
