I fully understand that having a cell phone, social media and a google account basically means I am tracked and monitored 100% of my minutes awake.
But having a robotic dog monitoring the actions of citizens seems a little too brazen. Red light cameras irritate me but this feels like it crosses a line. It's not like I do bad shite but where does it end?

'low income communities of color
Lately, I've wondered how we've gone from "colored people" being a slur during the civil-rights movement to phrases like "communities of color" or "women of color" being perfectly fine.

I mean, this is what happens when you elect mentally ill people to office.

Deploying robots to police neighborhoods? For being the party of "freedom", conservatives sure love some authoritarian rule.

Some assumptions are being made about who actually deployed the puppy.
I also hate myself for agreeing with you.

Well, the NYPD was the one behind it. In general, this is correct though. Just look at the constant calls for instant execution in every single crime thread.

At least you used "than" properly. That's better than half this board.

We've seen for decades what "investment" in high-crime, ghetto neighborhoods yields. It's like pissing away money. Infrastructure turns to shite if you don't have a populace willing to maintain, utilize and take care of it. I wouldn't drop a dime in bad areas like that and that's not wrong of me. If someone wants to play the blame game on WHY I don't want to waste money improving those areas, they need to point at the culture within, not me.

Glad we agree. Let's see how far this agreement goes: when addressing problems, is it generally more effective to treat the symptoms or the causes?
Absolutely more efficient to address the causes.
How much money are you willing to dump into that "solution". So far we've spent trillions trying to fix it and we're going in the opposite direction. You can spend another 10 trillion and it won't make one bit of difference if the people you're trying to change refuse to do so, which is the case in 99% of these problem areas.
The idea that they're shooting each other because there isn't a square 6 figure job available for them is beyond laughable.

Second, not dropping a dime is far better than dropping a whole lot of them into robot cops. Maybe I'm in the minority around here, but it seems to me that policing works a lot better when there is a good relationship between them and the local community. Deploying robots destroys that.
From what I understand, though, the intended use case for these things is tactical situations where it would be safer than sending in people. Fires, hostage situations, bombs, things like that. I don't think anyone would have a problem with that, but I think the fear is that it would not stop there. Justified fear?

I have personally seen dozens of YMCA federally funded centers be built brand spanking new with state of the art computer labs, games, outdoor recreation, etc and every single one went to shite at an alarming pace. I've seen businesses, parks, community pools, all get established and subsequently fall apart in record time. We've all seen this, pretending otherwise is just hiding from the real issue. Doesn't matter what you do, until the people who use these facilities change, they will continue to deteriorate and be nothing more than wasteful spending

What is your definition of a good relationship?
It is widely know that some in certain communities don't like the police. It doesn't matter what they do to foster a good relationship. For that to actually happen, it has to be both ways. Is that possible?

And again, I don't see where the intent was to use these things to patrol poor neighborhoods, but OP and others seem to think that would be a good use case.

"Colored" also effectively meant "black" in the understanding of that time (Native Americans, Latinos, Asians, etc., were typically permitted to use "whites only" spaces and public amenities in the 1950s and 1960s), whereas "POC" is now understood to be more inclusive of other racial/ethnic minorities.
