TBH I was almost wondering if it was anti-government types taking the opportunity to blame-shift. Color me surprised.

Oh, and for whoever was wondering when politics would take advantage?

Unfortunately, now is not the time for shitposting. 5 Dallas police officers have been murdered by rifle-wielding lunatics tonight, and several more wounded. http://www.cnbc.com/2016/07/07/two-police-officers-shot-at-dallas-protest-rally-nbc-5-reports-amid-outrage-over-alton-sterling-philandro-castile-shootings.html
If only those police had been armed....oh, wait.
Y'know, I wonder if this might not give some more impetus to gun control legislation? Similar to the Black Panthers and California's Mulford Act in the 60s.

Meh, that was a different era, before MOAR DAKKA became a bonafide red-blooded conservative value. I don't see it be likely to lead to gun control so much as lead to further militarization of the police.

machine gun droids
laser droids
flying droids
flying laser machine gun droids
bulldozer droids
railgun droids
flying laser machine gun bulldozer railgun droids


Edit: More seriously, it's also about when police use military equipment. Yes, there are times when police might need drones to kill active shooters, but those should be very very rare. Gun use is also important - when should police try to kill someone rather than attempting to capture them?

I think Murphy would probably decrease the overall number of police killings, honestly.

I honestly would prefer Judge Dredd to your average cop, not even kidding. Dredd doesn't have any of the cowardly violent paranoia that leads to most of these things.

I'd take Murphy over either average cop or Dredd, but his upkeep would be soulcrushing.

Dredd is awesome as a person, its his job title that got knickers in a twist
