  1. Judgment Day has been postponed. Skynet and the Terminators will prevail.

    Its been prophesized. They'll be back.
    Musk & Zuck with Twit & Meta is Skynet AI.
    Armageddon is close at hand.

  2. Take my rights papiiii

  3. I could see a case for it. But given how governments/police tend to be the first to rush head-on down slippery slopes…. Probably better they can't.

  4. Good point!!! Starting early and prioritizing your investment is the best way of getting ahead to financial freedom. I’m 41 and my goal is to hit a million before eoy so I can retire 2022. Currently averaging over 30% monthly on my stock portfolio so I know I will get there. Time in the market beats anything else

  5. Problem is people are focused on stuff like oh the gays need to be able to get married. Meanwhile sht that effects everyone is being ignored. No one thinks this might get abused? Slowly get people use to robots that can be hacked at any moment or abused if there is a protest agaisnt our gov then have a dude with a joystick thinking they are playing COD to just start gunning people down. Maybe people will truly wake up nit talking woke about fake patriarchy or woman rights but like woke about where our country is heading.

  6. Watch a wave of rubber bullet weilding robots with tazers pepper spray.

  7. Not now! But it's only a question of time. If someone developed it, they will use it sooner or later. Robocop isn't a science fiction anymore. Why would police put themselves at risk if they have a robot to do it?

  8. " I'm not ready for SKYNET to be real yet" …lol

  9. Thank you… Have a nice day

  10. This technology should be used in certain situations. They should have deployed one at Uvalde.

  11. They make it sound like "robots" would be killing by their own volition. The robots are remotely activated which makes them a viable option to save lives and still get the culprit.

  12. I mean this did happen in the Texas shooting , when the police were getting sniped the suspect barricaded himself and they just put c4 on a robot and killed the suspect

  13. You know the cops are failing when they have to resort to EXPLOSIVES to catch a suspect…. Failure at its finest.

  14. 1 Ultra libs run CA and SF
    2 you did not want police
    3 enjoy the mess you made

  15. I want Judge Dredd. I AM THE LAW!!!!

  16. I want Judge Dredd. I AM THE LAW!!!!

  17. I mean why not? SF is already crappy and nasty, so the robot would technically be doing you people a favor. Careful though, those robots may take your rights away, but I mean the criminals already did, so whats there to lose?? 🤷‍♂

  18. No excuses, no reason, we won't let fear allow them this power!

  19. Terminators are coming 😄

  20. People are all butthurt about this, but people have to understand, a HUMAN is controlling the robot. It just takes the officers' squishy soft bodies out of the equation so officers aren't killed by some wacko mass shooter. The lefties all hate guns, well, here's an effective way to eliminate mass shooters without danger to police but of course, the crybabies have an issue with that too. I literally saw a photo of a lady with a sign that said "Racist Robots"… like… you cannot make this crap up. Millions of homeless shooting dope and crapping on the sidewalks, and these city council folks have the balls to tell the cops how to run their department. Unreal. I'm in agreement with the pro-robot guy. Everyone is an activist until the shots start flying.

  21. I wish San Francisco was like the town of Chillingbourne – no ROBO COPS.

  22. MY FINANCIAL GOAL IS TO BE MAKING AT LEAST UP TO $1,000,000 EVERY YEAR BY INVESTING HEAVILY BOTH IN CRYPTO AND STOCK. I NEED GUIDIANCE. please comment below…

  23. First they put things in movies and then they use it in real life. Next up , The Purge.

  24. A big seller for Chicago's crime task.
    Or New York subways..

  25. The only reason they want a robot is where they won't face murder charges

  26. Why are the police tired of killing us the old fashioned way. Examples like i feared for my life, I thought that phone in his hand was a gun, He was reaching for his id' Or the all to familiar well he was a black man they all scare me .SMDH.

  27. Robocop reboot. SF is allergic to Robo tesla after the Twitter takeover.

  28. WOW , SOMEONE USING INTELLIGENCE IN SAN FRANSISCO. I DID THINK INTELLIGENCE EXISTED THERE ANYMORE .

  29. Turn them loose with extra grenades. There are way too many of you, and you’re just kinda in the way.

  30. BREAKING REAL NEWS!!! The Washington Post reports today that bidens protection racket for the biden money laundering scheme is beginning to crack. You can get more about this from a real news source. NBC can ignore this but it isnt going away. This is big news , suggest you check a real news channel to find out more.
