“We are living in a dystopian future, where we debate whether the police may use robots to execute citizens without a trial, jury, or judge,” said to Mission Local Tifanei Moyer, senior staff attorney at the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area.“No legal professional or ordinary resident should carry on as if it is normal.”However, supervisor Connie Chan revealed she had taken all concerns under consideration but that “according to state law, we are required to approve the use of these equipments.So here we are, and it’s definitely not an easy discussion.”Extreme measuresIn a statement, the San Francisco Police Department responded to the controversial conversation by saying that it does not currently have pre-armed robots but that it could deploy robots equipped with explosive charges “to contact, incapacitate, or disorient violent, armed, or dangerous suspects” when situations call for such extreme measures.In addition, very few high-ranking officers would have permission to authorize use of robots as a deadly force option, limiting the mass deployment of such extreme tactics.I think it’s bad for Democrats nationally.”Board President Shamann Walton, who voted against the new law, responded to these comments by explaining that he was not anti-police, but “pro people of color.”“We continuously are being asked to do things in the name of increasing weaponry and opportunities for negative interaction between the police department and people of color,” he said."
