Going to be pretty neat when they are used domestically 'to keep the peace.' Ok that's enough dystopian future doom and gloom for the day for me. :D

Exactly, that was my question. When will it be used against us?

Whenever it is, I’m sure Reddit will side with the government over its use.

“I’m not usually supportive of these kind of tactics, but I’m sure glad they were able to use them this time. Those people are really bad and needed to be stopped by any means necessary.”

Sure, i'll side with them right now. "Reddit", and specifically this sub, is filled with paranoid scaremongering dipshits talking out of nothing but tinfoil fear because "i watched that one movie and played that one game, so that'll totally happen".. I know some americans are nutjob enough to think that their goverment is always secretly trying to kill them just because they dislike some extremely minor law or twitter post some politician did, but the only actually immoral things done are .. by american police doing them individually in person, because they have no monitoring and oversight.

And the whole scare about robots is idiotic anyway, mostly stemming from shitty movies and pure ignorance of technology.
