    I guess that’s effective, but I assume it could have been done without the robots too.

    The guy inside was shooting at officers outside and shot at multiple robots inside. Multiple strikes to one that finally made it fail. Zero humans (assailant or officers) were injured in all of this because of the use of robots.

    I’m interested in hearing what other non-robot method are you suggesting that would have had the same result with equal safety to humans?

        Gas him first instead of instigating him to shoot at shit?

        Where is he in the house to gas him? Does he have any hostages with him he is threatening? Would those same hostages be harmed by the gas (medically frail or children)? Is he even still alive or did he shoot himself at some point and is already dead?

        Those are just a few problems I can think of quickly with starting with gassing him without knowing everything they did because robots were in there.

        This guy was going to shoot at the police anyway, they just drew shots at the robot which was destroyed. How did it help?

        Are you really serious? Think about what you just wrote.

        This guy was going to shoot at the police anyway,

        That’s your first clue.

        How did it help?

        By no police officers being harmed. I’d say it helped quite well.

        I’m not sure why you’re siding with a dude who is willing to shoot at people, cops or not.
