America: Doing everything but addressing the cause of the issue.
Don't worry, these will be deployed against protesters soon
“You can see… the benefit is that we are letting the children take control and defend themselves… this allows us to train better AI models that have the skills to address physical adversaries in our constantly evolving threat landscape…”
I might find this mildly interesting if the technology had been deployed during an active shooting and prevented it. As it stands, this is just a shitty advertisement for a shitty product that doesn’t address real issues and hasn’t been tested. Used to be you could pay some shadow marketers on Reddit for this kind of organic astroturfing. Kinda surprising it made its way here for free.
You may be right that it's completely useless, but it will make the inventor a fuck load of money. Turns out, it doesn't even need to work, you just need cops to pay for it.
you just need cops to pay for it.
*Schools
Anything except proper gun control laws I guess. Fuckin idiots.
Murican way. Stop guns with guns. Monkeys have big brains
Anything besides banning guns
But mah second amendment!!?
They might actually need their guns soon the way their government is going, but still you shouldn't be able to walk into a Walmart and buy a AR-15
They should started with mental health checks and strict gun laws
Anything but actually promoting comunity and civility
What a clown country.
Clowns are far more functional and entertaining.
If you don't live there and don't know anybody who has gotten on the governments bad side, it not far less entertaining than a clown to be honest. But i agree clowns are more functional. More fair and caring also.
I do live here and have been on the bad side (not a criminal but was investigated thoroughly for being in/working in the wrong place wrong time stuff). Clowns are absolutely more functional.
Best of luck with getting through the storm, I'm glad to have a pond between us tbh.
I'm glad we do too, to be honest. At least we're somewhat contained.
The drone hitting the dummy, falling apart, and the dummy barely teetering back is about how I feel this will go.
I find it funny that they're pretending that they won't end up strapping explosives to these things.
Albert Einstein famously said, "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."
HAAAACCKKKS
Kid with a flipper zero: hold my capri sun
Crazy that they think bird shot isn't a thing
Well hey, if cops are too afraid to do their damn job, we gotta send in SOMETHING.
RIP Uvalde kids....
Fucking rot in hell, Uvalde cops.
Not arguing that. Just a significant flaw, besides abuse of that system.
Wasn't the plan to heavily arm the teachers and send them in when the pigs are too chicken-shit?
They literally did this 4 years ago in Ohio. They legalized and encouraged teachers to bring guns to school.
It's one of the few times I was wrong. I said within 5 years we will see a teacher shoot a kid that didn't need to be shot.
I guess technically I have a year left, but so far I forgot they even did that.
Thought that I was remembering that correctly.
Insane really. Though it might actually be safer for students having the teachers armed instead of having police in every school.
Assuming the shooter is there for students and not waterfowl, their loadout would reflect that.
Buck shot is good for hallways.
Having three of them would help, if they're smart enough to attack from different directions.
"Clever girl ... !"
Soon: school shooters use drones for shootings
Is this because the cops at schools are pussies?
Yeah I remember the group of manly men all peeing themselves in uvalde while the shooter actively shot other children. Guess rather than gaining courage this is what they came up with.
Confident this won't work at all
Dead kids are a gold mine for capitalism. Keep those parents terrified on a daily basis and watch the money roll on in. And all those public schools to get contracts with. It’s a soulless fuckwad’s wet dream.
This is so fucking stupid
It's america...
Can they open doors?
Two main topics where Americans will literally try anything else but the obvious thing to do: school shootings and measuring things.
Don't most schools have fire rated doors that close in the event of a fire or when someone pulls the fire alarm?
I was thinking the same, all it takes is a door and these things are useless.
c/aboringdistopia
Now school shooters will get extra famous when the drone video inevitably leaks.
Good! The LAST thing we Want in Schools is for Students to have a Safe and Comfortable learning Environment!
Well, calling in a drone strike would stop the shooting
Until the nerd with the thick glasses hacks them to take care of the bullying quarterback...
Can't wait for the hacking scandal...
It continues to surprise me that the country with the largest military also has the most children killed by gunfire. I mean, obviously there is a correlation there but also such an obvious solution. I'm not against flying drones in schools and also not in favour of school shootings, but it's really impressive that the military industrial complex is able to come up with new 'solutions' they can profit off. I mean the only way to stop a bad guy with a drone is to arm a good guy with a drone, right.
They just made it 100x more fun. Can we have that but without the child murder?
