The fuck guys…you’ll try everything but actually fixing the problem.
because fixing a problem in the United States won't line anyones pockets with dollar bills.
Someone saw a problem, figured HOW to financially gain from said problem, not solve the problem in order to financially gain from it. So some company has scored a contract to patrol schools with drones in order to "prevent" school shootings and we know they won't and the US tax payer will pay for it.
Problems in the United States are never fixed, they're handled.
The only way it will be fixed is when people stop going after random public school kids and start going after the rich.
Many of us are trying to leave as quickly as possible. You can't fix a society of deeply fucking stupid as this one has become.
Fucking hilarious quote here:
"It's a bit like that movie The Matrix, where the agent can jump into the nearest person and immediately be good to go. We're a little bit like that—but we're the good guys," he added.
Oh yeah so it's kinda like the terrifying dystopian surveillance nightmare where people are oppressed at all times by an omnipresent, invincible, untouchable outer force that compels them to unquestionably follow the path laid out for them in life by their masters. But like, in a good way!
The measurement unit is what got me
This is such a tricky subject.
You could go with a more strict gun regulations. Coupled with more help for vulnerable people. And free mental healthcare.
Or.
MUTHERFUDGING DRONES, bitches.
It's such a tricky subject. So tricky.
This isn't tik tok you can say Motherfucking.
In fact I'd prefer if people just used the actual cuss words. Self-censoring is such a bullshit. Social media is a plague on our species.
It’s funny how much they do just to circumvent gun control.
Next headline reads "armed drones were hacked and lead to worst systematic school shooting in history"
Too many guns leads to weekly school shootings.
US: We need more guns!
These things are going to get hacked and start shooting kids. Wtf are these idiots thinking.
Probably "this is a completely untapped market for our killbots!"
this could only be stupider if they said AI would be used to deploy the drones
America will do literally anything to ignore gun control and mental health.
I feel like someone is going to hack one of these and then do a school shooting
You bet your ass. You think with Big Balls storing millions of people's data on unsecure servers and Las Vegas being slammed with a hack that would make Hollywood claim is unrealistic means there will be script kiddies ready with pre-made hacks that would make them kill people. This is cyberpunk 2077 level shit.
WFH
next year
armed drone hacked by deranged lunatic kills 50 kids and 10 teachers
Or, armed drone kills kid holding a banana as a gun
Child Holding Gun Shaped Object Struck By Bullets Fired From Police Drone
Idk fired is still too much culpability, how about 'Struck by bullets in incident involving police drone'
America, just throw more guns at the problem!
It is funny how americans think that more guns will prevent gun violence. Then again, they think that more pills will prevent drug problem.
You know how most school shootings can be stopped in the US? Safe storage laws. Most of the time the shooter is an underage kid who got access to their parents' guns and went to shoot up the school. Obviously it wouldn't stop shit like Uvalde and Sandy Hook. But it would still stop a fuckload of smaller shootings we don't hear about because they are background noise at this point.
Next mass shooting headline: Bullied nerd hacks armed drones in school to extract bloody revenge.
I get more and more grateful to be born in Europe. The US is a real life satire fever dream at this point.
the drones were equipped with pepper rounds plus a glass breaker
That's still terrible to be at a school but I bet it would be a hell of a lot of fun to play around with. Like aerial battle bots.
Article says there's a pepper ball launcher and a glass hammer, so this thing is mainly for surveillance and mild distractions, which is much better than I was prepared to read.
"Currently, an officer's job is to run toward gunfire, alone, with no support or intel—basically a standoff. With our drones, they're not alone; they know what the suspect looks like, what they're doing, and we take point around every corner.
"We usually find the shooter before they do and keep them occupied. Every officer who's seen this live has said they want it."
If this actually encourages them to do their jobs, great. If this is just a kickback to private industry and further militarizing schools while police still sit cowering, than I know where they can dock those drones...
"It's a bit like that movie The Matrix, where the agent can jump into the nearest person and immediately be good to go. We're a little bit like that—but we're the good guys,"
At last, zero self awareness, wow.
As always, the American answer is more guns!
Yay! Bullied tech nerds no longer have to bring their own gun! That's convenient for them.
anything but do something about the guns. SMH
Lol wasn't that like a I did a thing video?
The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a drone is a good guy with a drone.
I was always terrified of Robocop when I was a kid. What a strange world we live in..
