And where does the liability fall upon a wrongful shooting? The city? Because I highly doubt they’ll take any responsibility. San Francisco is a cesspool of opioid addiction and homelessness, there is no universe where I see this situation playing out correctly.

Lol it'll be called a cop and therefore have qualified immunity. Bc in America a toaster with a badge can have more rights than a regular civilian

It’s remote operated not autonomous. I thought the same thing at first.

It’s not an autonomous robot, it’s remotely operated. The liability, such as it is, will rest on the person operating it.

We still have to prove that the operator was operating it. But funnily enough all the body cams failed at the same time and nobody can remember who was actually operating the drone when it killed that unarmed black kid.

So the cops? And back to square 1 we go. Police still have qualified immunity unless they want to forgo that?

Ah, so a cop, so... Zero accountability.

The US is a goddamn police state. Your cops already shoot an insane number of people, why do they need to do it remotely too? What a rotting shitpile.
