What have you seen?What we've seen from drone operators I doubt this very much.
From what studies have shown they are behind a screen but going through a lot of the same mental stuff of combat (including PTSD) as a regular pilot.What have you seen?
Those movies were made with the intention to brainwash the Americans to accept "killer robots as part of their daily life", that's obvious to meMy first thought of course was Robocop, but then Terminator comes to mind as well. What could go wrong indeed.
I work in IT as well. And to your point here, I don't think the police should be armed like the military. Should we give them flamethrowers, handgrenades, landmines, and bazookas too? So I don't think they should have any equipment that is military level. For one reason alone, they aren't the military. From my understanding, a lot of the cops who become cops, the military wouldn't take them. So why then give them military gear?But, in simple terms, and in relation to your point on hacking.
If police robots are going to be provided with military grade firepower, they need to be provided with military grade cyber-security and countermeasures.
There is a major downside to this. They are the military. Nor should we have those armed with military weapons on our streets partoling American citizens. Then add to this, that they are training these cops with military weapons to treat all of us as the enemy.It reminds me of the sudden procurement of cheap, military-grade firepower many American police forces undertook to 'upgrade' their officers equipment. Whilst in theory there is no downside to this...having better armoured vehicles or heavier calibre rifles doesn't change anything in and of itself...the militarization of policing leads to a force more divorced and ..I would argue...less capable of fulfilling community policing roles.
What? Have you ever watched the films? They portray how horrifying they are, not how innocent they are getting us used to accepting them from some dark conspiracy between the "deep state" and Hollywood! I anyone ever saw a T-1000 coming towards them, I'm pretty sure they'd all **** their pants, not run out there and hug it!Those movies were made with the intention to brainwash the Americans to accept "killer robots as part of their daily life", that's obvious to me

But the deeper concern is this. If we have militarized police forces, what is different from that than having the National guard out there on our streets imposing martial law? Assault rifles and tanks on every corner, and so forth. While that sounds extreme, having cops with military equipment is a show of force that makes everyone nervous, not just the bad guys. These are not the military. The military should not be deployed against American citizens. Nor should they be supplying military gear to police forces.

In a potentially violent encounter, a cop at
a remote control console wouldn't have any
fear of danger. It's also unlikely that the
person posing the threat would make it
personal with a robot, so that the cop
operating it wouldn't take it so personally.
There are studies that show militarized police increases violence and destruction rather than reduce it.What we've seen from drone operators I doubt this very much. Rather I do see a potential for the cops to feel emboldened and embiggened because they have nothing to fear.
You haven't played video games where you hunt down the bad guys without personal fear for safety.The issue is...which will be more dangerous?
1) Cops as they currently behave.
2) Cops augmented by remotely controlled
armed bots.
I speculate that #2 offers potential to be safer
because cops not personally exposed to
dangerous situations will have less of that
militarized us-against-them fearful attitude.

Yea. They even handcuff and tazer little kids now.Come on.
Cops fear for their lives when someone is handcuffed in the back of a secured police car and start kicking the doors.
San Francisco has voted to authorize cops to deploy armed robots to disable or kill suspects. What could possibly go wrong?

Some already posses that function if desired.Yet.
Having nothing to fear...that has 2 aspects...What we've seen from drone operators I doubt this very much. Rather I do see a potential for the cops to feel emboldened and embiggened because they have nothing to fear.

Someone says "**** the police," I just don't see the cop sitting behind the screen making things any different. Even if they aren't they'll know there's the real possibility of emotionally being there, they'll still shoot people, where the encounter is occurring, and because they were "emotionally present" they'll be found to have done wrong.
Exactly.I don't think the person posing a threat would make it personal with a robot either, though they might try to damage it, or they might try to flee. The cop controlling it remotely could view the suspect like an NPC in a video game.

Psychopaths operating killer drones wouldRobots provide that same kind of benefit to its user. Just hunt down and terminate. What fun for a government psychopath.
Your belief that drone cops would be hunterProblem is one is fantasy, while the other is real life.
