these already exist though, theyve been flying over the middle east droppin missiles everywhere for the last couple years at least; it's funny how the general public only start questioning shit when it happens in their own country.

You didn't read the OP not to mention the article:
[QUOTE]The use of a robot to deliver an explosive device and kill the Dallas shooting suspect has intensified the debate over a future of "killer robots".

whats the big deal? it makes it safer for law enforcement to approach these situations.
Much rather have a cop using one of these than risking their own life if it is a situation that cannot be diffused. Comparing these tactics to drone usage is completely asinine. Drones are only an issue because they often cannot properly identify whether targets are military or civilian. In scenarios like this they can tell pretty damn well who is the person endangering public safety and who isn't.

Different mechanisms and delivery methods, same one person remote-controlling a machine capable of killing someone. The text you bolded is the point I'm trying to make; it's the first time it's happened on a tangible level inside the US and the general public are only now starting to worry about the implications of weaponised remote-control devices.
