I'm speechless, other than to say that this is not the Babylon Bee

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The Los Angeles City Council has postponed a decision on whether to accept a donation of a robot dog after protesters voiced their opposition to the move at a meeting on Tuesday.

Protesters at Tuesday's city council meeting said the robot dog could be used to spy on people in Black and Brown communities.

The LAPD says the robot would only be used by the SWAT team for surveillance and would not be equipped with weapons or be used for spying.

The council heard public comments for an hour on the robot, the majority of which were against the move.

"You are laying down the foundation for a future that will feature the killing of people by this robot dog," one protester was heard saying to the council.

The council again reiterated that the robot dog will not be allowed to be equipped with weapons.

The vote on whether to accept the dog has been postponed for at least 60 days.

Several members of the council have shown signs of voting against the robot dogs' approval.

LMAO @ the triggered.

I think it's fricking great. Have the robot dogs patrol and take care of shoplifters and looters. I'd kinda pay to see that shite.

If they change it cosmetically to appear as a pit bull will that fix things?

How are the protestors going to keep having dog fights now that the city's robo dog will destroy all of their 'fighters'.

Isn't spying and surveillance pretty much the same thing?

Also, would it help if robodog is black?

How stupid can they get?

The gooberment is on the hunt for "domestic terrorists" or "white supremacists" or "christian nationalists" or "election deniers" or "homophobics / transphobics / islamaphobics."

Meaning, anyone who dislikes the power grabs by our commie overlords can expect to get gnawed on my the robo dawg.

They don't like it because they can't accuse the robot of racism.

If the robot dog continues to remain silent on the matter, it’s an admission of guilt for being racist according to lizzo.
