#7  Didn't I see this in the movies?

Sounds like ED 209 to me.

#6  There really isn't any difference between this and a sniper. The had killed multiple people and would do so again if given the chance. If he was in the open the same call would be given for the sniper to take him out.

I have no issue with using an explosive robot to do the job in a confined space.

The irony of this attack on the Dallas Police is that Chief Brown does not allow any officers to harm any black/white/brown/etc citizens with unnecessary violence. But if any black/white/brown/etc person messes with his officers, he will take you out.

#4  The robot was one that was capable to handling a wide range of threats according to Northrop Grumman who provided the robot to the Dallas Police.

#2  Heh. Re Drudge on imminent emotional robots:

Too cute! It's a moody AI,
A robot with whom you can cry!
Mechanical cancer
(but such a good dancer!)
To grind along after we die.
