So do the drones have like, an explosive charge on it to kill the shooters like we use in war right now?
If so why is that at a school?
If not then what do they think a drone is fucking gonna do?
Really, this is the US government terrorizing children and a corporation using them as test subjects disguised as a security measure.
They have pepper spray, ramming capabilities, and speakers. Supposedly the idea is to distract the shooter to buy time and give away their position.
They shoot them in the head. Same as they've been doing with the sniper drones in Gaza.
The article says they will be equipped with non-lethal weapons
unlike Gaza. For now though…
There is no such thing as a non-lethal weapon.
What you mean is "less lethal"
