re: San Francisco PD proposes new policy to give robots the license to kill humans

However, the SFPD returned the draft with a red line crossing out Peskin’s addition, replacing it with the line that gives robots the authority to kill suspects.

I realize that the police kill suspects regularly in the line of duty, but maybe they should aim a little higher with the kill bots. This is a robot we're talking about, if they aren't an expert marksmen that can take a man down without lethal force, we probably shouldn't arm them. Instead of giving them clearance for kill shots, have them shoot the cell phone that looks like a gun out of their hands or something.
