  1. Bay area we have ungodly cost-of-living high taxes and a rampant home plus problem what should we do? I know let’s make Murderbots? Starting to see why all the conservatives hate California. I mean they have a lot more problems than trying to make murder bots. Sounds like open season on all 3 blacks that live in good luck San fran. 😡

  2. "I need your clothes, boots, and motorcycle."

  3. Murphy it's you…Robocop…or worse yet..Ed209

  4. Are they racist robots or will they also assault Caucasians now?

  5. Why are so many people losing their minds over this?

  6. so i guess we just going full on robocop?

  7. maybe because last time police killed a suspect with a bombed robot it was in Dallas when all those Police were killed in 2020 and it was a black man screaming "black liberation Army" as he was shooting at police in the last stand. watch him barricaded in the hallway before they blow him up. The news just left out he was a racist shooter because he was black.

  8. Bomb robots used just like the 2016 Dallas Texas mass shooting is the only way to execute the gunman.

  9. We're living in a cyberpunk dystopia, but just with less cool cybernetics and less neon

  10. Lady speaking says they're hypothetical scenarios no lady they're happening every day. There's people out there covered in their own feces trying to attack people with anything they can pick up out of the street or find. They're insane criminal and need to be dealt with give the police force more.

  11. Defund the police? This is what you get.

  12. I can see it now: robot shoots innocent bystander by mistake, no accountability , just an apology

  13. Does the robot also get qualified immunity?

  14. SF is a dump. Y’all need this

  15. Skynet has strong lobbying influences

  16. Notice how this bill was passed unanimously. ALL the SF lawmakers support furthering the problem we have with police violence. Innocent people will continue to be murdered by police in our cities.

  17. They forgot to add on poor communities and minorities. Cause no one white is getting killed by this thing.

  18. Somebody got paid off of this

  19. Easily for robbers and kidnappers to get away. can a robot run just as fast as criminals to try and stop them?💯

  20. Now teach the robot not to murder the child the shooter uses as a barrier.

  21. If I read this right cyberdyne systems will be supplying cyborgs as well at a 1 per 100 population ratio that look exactly like humans and these automatons will roam freely among the citizenry and take action as needed relying on AI so stay within the law or one of these things might appear at your place rip the front door off the hinges and literally drag you down to the police station for questioning it's about time since we're all sick of criminals as it is ruining our lives

  22. I'm sure the robots could have been used in a situation like Uvalde since the officers were too scared to engage the shooter. Sometimes robots can be used where humans are unable – like grabbing bombs or stopping a mass shooter for instance. For every situation? Absolutely not.

  23. Next it will be aerial drones.

  24. This will somehow violate civil and human rights I bet you.

  25. Never once in my life have I heard a white person die from police shooting

  26. Isn't this an assault weapon?

  27. The WEF is going to love their new toys being legalised.

    Riot?

    Let’s send out the explosive bots.

    “Comply citizen, or be eradicated.”

  28. Hah, Newsome says,

    YOURE WELCOME

  29. Are they supplied by a company called SkyNet by chance?

  30. It’ll be robot vs robot

  31. Yeah all the stuttering from these alleged leaders makes me feel like they're really know what they're doing

  32. No one can trust that at all

  33. Funny how all the leftist crap holes are the first to start with totalitarian police state tactics…and you leftist also want to eliminate Free speech…a recipe for enslavement

  34. They just squashed your U S. Constitutional rights.
