I don't deal with children, is this sort of thing not a deal breaker for parents?
Once the drones are taken over by child-shooter hackers, ICBM launches against random schools will be used as a deterrent. Failing that all schools will be closed and the problem with "school shootings" will finally be solved! /s
You jest, but remember that the Dept of Education has been EO'd almost out of existence, currently run by Vince McMahon's wife who is a staunch supporter of "school choice" and charter schools. These are the easiest way to re-segregate schools, put the curriculum back in the hands of moneyed interests, and defund public education.
The trend will be that public schools will have all the kids who are economically disadvantaged, disaffected, badly taught, and unable to be helped by teachers and faculty who are underpaid, understaffed, and hobbled by bad policy, the more school shootings will become a problem that doesn't affect a certain segment of society. Any parents who can, will pull their kids from failing public schools and pay more to have their kids attend other schools, or even homeschool. The fewer kids the public schools have, the more budget cuts will be authorised.
All public schools will ultimately be shuttered, under this plan. School shootings will keep happening of course, but once it only affects rich white kids, it will finally be taken seriously, at least.
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
Armed with pepper balls
"Once airborne, they offer two-way communication through an embedded speakerphone. They also can break glass, make loud noises, fire nonlethal pepper-spray pellets or take other action within a minute as a first response to an incident. "
"Let's test the new firmware in the district with the most minorities."
You know it will happen. Maybe they'll phrase it differently but the decision will be made.
Let's fight gun violence with...... robots with guns?????
Oh man, eome kids gonna carrying a band flute case and sniped. How are we this stupid? Mark my words, irobot is gonna kill an innocent kid
I see no possibility of this going wrong. /s
repeal the 2nd amendment
Amen. Doesn't mean guns will immediately be illegal. It just won't be something you can obtain simply for living to a long enough point.
Using school to practice your combat drone tech and funnel more tax payer money into the hands of the military complex. Very cool. /s
So instead of dealing with the actual problem... they're going to add to the problem. Wow. What a fucking liberty.
EDIT: I clearly didn't read the article. Not going to rewrite or delete what I said. Keeping my integrity. Thanks 👌
I can't wait for one of these drones to go rouge...
They'll definitely look pretty with makeup on
And red is probably their color too.
So do they just circle over the school until the shooter has killed everyone and leaves the building?
They have to make sure it is safe for the police to go in.
A drone that size carrying only a go-pro has a battery life of only a few minutes. With all the shit this company glued to it I'm sure the shooter just has to close a door and count to 100 and the thing will fall out of the air.
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure ass shit
Then those coward pigs can finally do something while they're hiding. And probably make more victims
Better not wear a Biden hat to school.
Calling it ai drone watching all American citizens within 5 years.
