I fail to see how this police robot that ignores crime reports and jumps into fountains is really any worse than a typical police officer in America.
The robots haven't murdered anyone with a choke hold or started a drug running gang yet at least
Or formed violent gangs that purposely kill innocent people like the LASD has

This police robot looks like a walking meme. I can't imagine anything legitimately good coming out of that thing.
You should see Robocop :) /s

At least it sang a song, slight improvement over the fleshy police.
On a serious note, can Amazon (-> MGM -> Orion Pictures) make them stop calling this thing “RoboCop”?

I've seen ads on television to buy this company's stock.
You get TV ads that promote buying certain stocks in the UK?
Not generally, but I did get an ad for this company. I mention it because I thought it was strange.
perhaps this story is somewhat relevant in a meta sense regarding the ethics and viability of robotics, but more generally, I'm so, so sick of British news outlets - from the Daily Mail to the BBC - running out of local news and deciding that American news is equally relevant, and further than that, titling the articles as if they were local news
why should I have to know every time there's a mildly notable political event, or murder, or celebrity occurrence, thousands of miles away in a completely different country?

For the same reason I should know about the daily lives of a royal family we fought a revolution to be rid of?
it’s a rhetorical question. the issue here is the perverse incentives the media has. bring back government grants for journalism

Isn’t this the same robot where the indoor navigation is so bad that it ended up throw itself into a indoor fountain?
Edit: Just noticed they mentioned it on the bottom of the article. Didn’t know they hit a kid too in a mall…
