They’ll do literally anything and everything to avoid investing in the community 🤦‍♂️

[ladylaois]

Let’s all get excited like this is totally normal ?

[sammencia]

100 years of science fiction warns us what happens next.

[robertsteele]

This will never work. How will the police disable the camera when planting the drugs?

[mr.unXcepted]

This is just the beginning to the original terminator movie Boston Dynamics robots are no joke

[marsoblivin]

They will know nothing about sympathy.. that’s why robocop the hybrid human hated the other robocops. They were evil asf.

Give it mebbe less than a week, and they’ll find it whimpering, on two legs, with a bulb hanging out...and covered in graffiti.

Literally, a month ago l said this would happen to friends they're still calling me a conspiranut even though most consperacies have become true.

Wouldn't a remote controlled toy car with a camera/audio mic on it work in the same 'hostage' scenario and cost significantly less..?

[MrKayakinglife]

How quickly will these be shot especially in New York, lol

[trudifrancis]

This seems like a disaster waiting to happen when it gets hacked by the wrong people.

[LarryMauritania]

Should be easily disabled with string netting

[clive]

Charlie Brooker? Black Mirror? Horrifying. Truly prophetic and horrific.

പിഎസ്‌സി question എന്നെ ഇവിടെ എത്തിച്ചു😁

[Jzak]

The only problem the public have is probably the cost of each of these robot toys

[sh-rv]

The company promises It'll get even better with time

[evielknievel]

Haha. Robodog 23. At the first encounter with catalytic converter thieves and he'll be turned and sold to scrap metal for money.

[HiddenPalm]

They test these robots in poor residential neighborhoods. This is disgusting. No more votes for any of these police state politicians.

[MrBsir]

now all we need is a DigiCop to control it.

[ernestorodriguez]

I guess the “shooters and stabbers” put on the green light for the Mayor on this. Good Luck New Yorkers!
