From Utah, up close and personal law enforcement technology

from brasscheck tv...
It's hard to imagine a robot like this being actually useful in a military combat setting where 99.99% of all fighting is done at the distance of 100 meters or more.

No, these robots are made for handling people, personal and upclose.

And where does this typically happen?

In so called "civil disturbances." You know, situations where people take to the streets to demonstrate their opinion about something.

Paid for by the military and then adopted by "civilian law enforcement."



i just love that it's being marketed as "protection" for soldiers...
