Dallas' bomb robot sparks debate around police militarization

All those conspiracy nuts are starting to look right in the light.

How do you feel about our government using drone warfare on American soil?

Wait his gun didn't protect him?

You can't enforce the progressive agenda without strong ultra powerful government.

The progressives want to censor everyones thoughts and speach and restrict everyone's rights. That is virtually in impossible without a big brother/Chinese style government.

Europe is definitely on that big brother stuff, but because it's all in the name of the White-is-right ideals of the so-called European forward western culture, nobody cares.

Sure you hate drones, but if the government told you it was to monitor white males in the Appalachian moutians, you wouldn't care. Or if was to combat capitalism or ensure transgendered people were treated fairly.... you would all welcome drones.

Might want to learn the difference between aggression and self-defense

Anyway, stay on topic. Dallas PD just set a very dangerous precedent.

Wouldn't he have been defending/protecting himself from the robot?

Sure, but he's the initial aggressor who's clearly terrorizing our society.

If you want to talk guns then he survived for hours with his artillery even against the Dallas PD, SWAT, and feds so one man with the right weapons apparently CAN hold off a government attack.

Now, lets get back on topic. They used a robot drone to bomb a US civilian. Lets talk about that rather than your infatuation with dumb gun logic.

In Radley Balko's book on police militarization he really stresses how much easier it is for cops to use military tech now than it was 40 years ago.

Cops in California had to get formal approval from the secretary of defense(iirc) to use an RPG in a shoot out against the Panthers. Today, swat teams use RPGs most everytime they take a door.

Wasnt he dead when they bombed him tho?!!? Wasnt there reports that he killed himself???

You call it "dangerous" but theyll call it "successful"..before this they had no way of neutralizing suicidal threats who had barricaded themselves in without risking the lives of the tactical team with an attack.

Im thinking we will see more and more of these tactical type drones used against people who refuse to surrender...maybe not armed with explosives all the time but with stun grenades or tear gas.

 

[Paper Boi]

it was only a matter of time.


cop pay needs to go down severely if they got robots doing their jobs now.

Why does it matter if he's the aggressor or not?

One could argue you he was defending his rights but I won't.

Seems like you need to add some nuance to your argument. I'm not going to argue both sides. I feel conflicted about it. Balance of life and all that.

I mean we used a drone to Alwaki and a few other US citizens in years prior. Can't say I shed a tear there but I feel that's entirely different.

 

[Scientific Playa]

kind of hard to fathom such a thing as 'american soil' with the open borders and trillions of dollars in debt that that nation is in.

george carlin famously said, "they are coming for your pensions and social security money and they'll get it. that's what the gun control issue is all about. they want an docile unarmed populace to roll over.

drone wars are gonna be ugly. some folks are already building there own and flying them over sensitive locations.

 

[newarkhiphop]

It was only a matter of time and now that "door" has been open I expect we will see it more

*tin foil on*

Seemed like a very Israeli thing to do

They murked his teenage son Abdulrahman when he was playing video games. You can't "shed a tear" there?

all that rah rah 2nd Amendment and then you say this? 2A is either for use against oppressive government, or it isn't.
