Okay, who would pay to see this at a riot?

[Twilight Hue]

Riot control so far has been human versus human confrontation. It kind of makes me wonder if that will change in the near future instead of having reliance on State Police and Local Police forming a Roman style push with shields and clubs, imagine a line of those little darlings...er Darliks ... heading toward the crowd. Terminate.... terminate......

I see the day when government will employ the use of machines which are far more terrifying imo as a form of control and restraint than any human could ever be, and removes the danger when you have a police officer safely behind enemy lines controlling these things or even worse if they are autotomonus.

I'm beginning to see an age now where the role of machines to control humans will soon bring those dystopia science fiction movies into stark reality.

Doctor Who meets Blade Runner.

What's next? Maybe Screamers?

*Yikes*

That is one trend.

Are you ready to praise and worship our benevolent machine overlords?

We're going to have to find a way to resurrect Nicholas Tesla in order to develop the proper countermeasures.

That looks more like that one robot on Wall-e than a Dalek.

Looks more like a cute vending (or lending) machine to me - DO YOU WANT SOME MONEY! (In Dalek voice of course)

I agree, you need a long pipe protruding from it.

I bet if you said, " Hey Google", it would respond....

And a plunger. You cannot forget the plunger! As far as the look is concerned, it's more important than the camera piece.

Looks like it. That reminds me I need to ask my little google thingy if it dreams of electric sheep.

When I lived near Baltimore I knew of a city police officer who would carry a small snake in his glove compsrtment. Apparently, threatening groups congregating on the street corners would scatter like rabbits as soon as he brandished it.

Yes it will happen. But then the protestors will hack the software and the machine will turn on the police. Etc.

New York would probably do that for tax revenue. Insert card here and you will not be shocked.

An informed and armed public may have its own bots to repel those bots in extremis. Thus the 2nd amendment may matter in this matter.
