Meet the 400-pound robots that will soon patrol parking lots, offices, and malls

More progressive police state nonsense. These authoritarian assholes won't be satisfied until we have something like this on every street corner.

Then add 5 guys with portable powertools.

Sounds like a fun time!

Let's get some beers and fuck up the mallbot really badly.

I've seen a few 400 lb security guards already, of the human variety.

Kill it with fire.

Yeah, but not before some horrifying failures I'm sure.

Oh, and Russia is already teaching a bipedal robot to use guns.

It's no ED-209.

CAN YOU SAY EXPLODING DYE PACK
I JUST KNEW YOU COULD

There is actually a small migit cop hiding in them ready to catch the baddies.

A little rope a some well placed boards will do the trick I would think...

I think I would rather deal with one of those things than a 400 pound meter maid!

We need EMP grenades ASAP

Thugs can also assault guards.

As representatives of corporations which are "people", they will be given "rights" and assault charges will be laid. The units will soon be armed as well.

Yes, thugs will always be thugs, but the cast majority of law-abiding citizens will let them roam and be compliant as opposed to losing their jobs and possessions.

Exterminate people who spend their time inventing new ways to oppress and tyrannize.

i dont see any legs so it could be kicked over...There is not a battery tech yet that could keep a qudraped alive for any useable time..

If you see one of these tech abortions, make sure your phone is not on you and your face is not visible.

Hey wouldn't it be cool if we all had a robot that keeps us in line 24/7.

That's sarcasm.

turns out there is $$ in that so it will always happen and the bonus is that the .gov loves it now.
