| Is it specifically the camera or the single robotic arm meant for manipulating hazardous objects — which resembles a grocery store claw game — that you likely believe is biting into illegal immigrants' legs like a robotic German shepherd? You have not done the bare minimum of research before blasting out your hilariously melodramatic comment. |

| I think it’s more that an agency that defends murderers in their ranks isn’t going to have a problem deploying something that injures innocent Americans as it tries to do whatever it’s meant to. On the upside, I look forward to everyone at Boston Dynamics being subpoenaed for the next few years. Maybe we’ll get some new entrants from the departures. |

| ▲ | JumpCrisscross 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | > that's not what's happening here Nobody claimed anyone has been injured by these devices yet. (They haven’t been deployed in public.) The reasonable concern is that when they are deployed, they are likely to injure someone because the people deploying them have been eagerly hurting—and defending those who hurt—innocent Americans. |

I genuinely don’t see these being used as an “or.” It’s undertrained idiots with guns plus these, or just the former. [1] https://www.semafor.com/article/05/19/2026/worker-backlash-o... |

| They could just drive it into someone. >hazardous gas detection, search and rescue, as well as suspicious package investigations What the fuck does that have to do with immigration and customs enforcement? |
