This is such a tricky subject.
You could go with a more strict gun regulations. Coupled with more help for vulnerable people. And free mental healthcare.
Or.
MUTHERFUDGING DRONES, bitches.It’s such a tricky subject. So tricky.
This isn’t tik tok you can say Motherfucking.
In fact I’d prefer if people just used the actual cuss words. Self-censoring is such a bullshit. Social media is a plague on our species.
I need more things to have a block censorship option. Like streaming music services often have a ‘block explicit’ option. I want a ‘block censored’ option.
man I made an account just to go troll idiots and holy shit is their moderation ever so fucking bad
people can say “I would drive over them” about people crossing a bridge, but if you say, “I’d drive over you tbh”, nope, not okay.
not to mention the dumb automatic word filters regardless of context
Ploppers
do we have to have this same argument every godsdamned thread?
Argument? Nah. Just trying to help someone who seems to need help in forcefully expressing themselves.
just, i’m tired boss. no one likes being the language police, no one like being language policed. just let people talk.
The drones, stored in secure boxes on campus, can be deployed within five seconds of silent panic buttons being activated. The devices—operated remotely by a team in Texas—provide constant live video feeds to first responders and, in some cases, fire nonlethal projectiles to delay or incapacitate an assailant.
To me, these aren’t a bad idea. Immediate response and non-ISH-lethal. They are simply the progression of enforcement technology.
What they are not, is a solution to school shootings. They are not even a bandaid. Some people (law makers) just don’t seem to know what “prevention” means.
You said

and yet you also said

in the very same post.
I wouldn’t want some bored trigger happy gun nutjob from Texas playing shoot the bad guys with pepper spray on a games console where my kids and their multi ethnic friends are the NPCs.
nonlethalless lethalUnderstandable, common typo in MY GUNS! land.
but which of those options will make more money for the people in charge?
America will do literally anything to ignore gun control and mental health.
I am an OCP stockholder.
“It’s a bit like that movie The Matrix, where the agent can jump into the nearest person and immediately be good to go. We’re a little bit like that—but we’re the good guys,”
At last, zero self awareness, wow.
I’m sure this won’t have a impact on mental health
The fuck guys…you’ll try everything but actually fixing the problem.
Many of us are trying to leave as quickly as possible. You can’t fix a society of deeply fucking stupid as this one has become.
No wait, they got thought listening devices! What if they set them up in schools to listen to everyone’s thoughts! Everyone would be safe because you can listen to all teenager’s thoughts!
OK let’s start…listening to the guy over there… Wow! Jessica has tits! …hmmm okay moving on to another kid’s thoughts…
Oh shit, nevermind! Nevermind!
because fixing a problem in the United States won’t line anyones pockets with dollar bills.
Someone saw a problem, figured HOW to financially gain from said problem, not solve the problem in order to financially gain from it. So some company has scored a contract to patrol schools with drones in order to “prevent” school shootings and we know they won’t and the US tax payer will pay for it.
Problems in the United States are never fixed, they’re handled.
The only way it will be fixed is when people stop going after random public school kids and start going after the rich.
Fantastic. Remote controlled school shootings.
Article says there’s a pepper ball launcher and a glass hammer, so this thing is mainly for surveillance and mild distractions, which is much better than I was prepared to read.
"Currently, an officer’s job is to run toward gunfire, alone, with no support or intel—basically a standoff. With our drones, they’re not alone; they know what the suspect looks like, what they’re doing, and we take point around every corner.
“We usually find the shooter before they do and keep them occupied. Every officer who’s seen this live has said they want it.”
If this actually encourages them to do their jobs, great. If this is just a kickback to private industry and further militarizing schools while police still sit cowering, than I know where they can dock those drones…
It’s a foot in the door because of that attitude. No one jumps straight to Gatling guns on drones at the elementary school they might however do pepper ball, then tazer, then hard markers, rubber bullets, actual bullets.
“Currently, an officer’s job is to run toward gunfire, alone, with no support or Intel”
That’s a lie, they don’t run toward gunfire at all. And they’ll wait until they have at least three departments of officers before doing anything.
If they want to break glass as a distraction they can do that already, they don’t need a drone. And their plan to break glass will startle an already on edge and unstable shooter, instead of using tactics to de-esecalate the situation. Also, isn’t this what swat is for? They have no qualms about flashbanging babies in cribs but when it comes to an actual situation all of a sudden they need drones so no cops are in any iota of danger.
It is a massive invasion of privacy (like everything public school)
Fucking hilarious quote here:
“It’s a bit like that movie The Matrix, where the agent can jump into the nearest person and immediately be good to go. We’re a little bit like that—but we’re the good guys,” he added.
Oh yeah so it’s kinda like the terrifying dystopian surveillance nightmare where people are oppressed at all times by an omnipresent, invincible, untouchable outer force that compels them to unquestionably follow the path laid out for them in life by their masters. But like, in a good way!
What actually happens to people who’s body is taken by the agent in the matrix? They can’t be not dead, right? This makes it even better.
I think we know what the next step is here. Mass shooters start using armed drones.
It’s funny how much they do just to circumvent gun control.
Innocent children will die to trigger happy drone cops. It’s going to be a remote controlled Uvalde.
this could only be stupider if they said AI would be used to deploy the drones
the drones were equipped with pepper rounds plus a glass breaker
That’s still terrible to be at a school but I bet it would be a hell of a lot of fun to play around with. Like aerial battle bots.
How is there not a drone version of battle bots yet
Aerial combat vehicles don’t take hit that well.
I’m sure this will solve the problem. And, no chance at all it will be abused, somehow.

I’m so glad I’m not a young person in school
Gen Alpha is screwed even more than gen Z
