The publicly traded company, which sells Tasers and police body cameras, floated the idea of a new police drone product last year to its artificial intelligence ethics board, a group of well-respected experts in technology, policing and privacy.
“This is an idea that should get into the public's consciousness while our minds are open to it and I felt if I wait another six months, the world is going to change and people are going to forget this pain and we're going to see a shift in sentiments where people are going to focus a lot more on what could go wrong, rather than the pain of this problem we need to solve,” he said.
“We begged the company not to do it,” Friedman said of the company's announcement. “It was unnecessary and shameful.” Friedman and Calo both described this week's process as a sharp turnaround from the respectful relationship that Axon executives have had with the board in recent years on controversial topics such as face recognition - which Axon decided against using in its body cameras - and automated license plate readers.
I mean what could wrong? ffs
More guns! That's the answer? Techy kids today would love to destroy them.
What How about gun control laws instead?
This is garbage solution. Sorry TASERs are not the answer to stop an active shooter.
They will literally do anything and come up with some stupid ideas instead of just raising the gun age and proper background check across the board
I say a MQ-9 Reaper is probably more effective. More firepower please.
When the solution is simple, but you like to make things more complicated
Yeah nothing could go wrong with that. Fools
Hmmm… I wonder if a weapon such as oh I dunno maybe a gun could shoot down a drone 🤔
Omfg
Yeah that’s a great idea. Nothing could go wrong 😂
Who is going to mind the drones?
LMAO?
Anything but regulate a clearly needed industry eh. Anything but actually stopping the issue.
What a messed up place to live! Next they will suggest giving all the kids their own guns.
That’s funny
NIXON'S BAAAAAACK!
🤦🏼♀️
That may be a long shot that still does not address the root cause of gun related violence in US.
Until they Taze some innocent child and get sued out of existence. Americans are insane.
Wow,
Lmao, anything but stopping from selling guns.
I need this to handle my customers, does it have auto reload?
I think there will be collateral damage if that’s the case
Just use this! Oh wait, that is a vaccine droid.
Cause yesTaser ? The subject matter of multiple lawsuits where people were actually killed?
God help save the US from themselves
Every child needs food shelter love, +roles models. Some need menth health supports and medication. Trauma free childhoods would be a start. Inclusive societies that respect differences and disabilities. Gun control laws helpful. onpoli Ontario needs to work on 1st parts now.
Oops, just tased another kid.
How bout the politicians stop dividing people and stop pushing agendas like Gays Racism etc. We didn’t have these problems in the 80’s and 90’s. We had no problems with gays and blacks. We all got along fine. The politicians created all phobia’s to make them look like hero’s..
Lol omg. Shooter closes the door. Hits the drone. Shoots the drone. Hacks the control. Sets off an explosive and runs. An innocent gets tased by the drone. A child with heart issues dies from being mistakenly taxed by drone. MASSIVE expense for a bandaid.
Seriously!!!! LOL
Ya Star Wars program ask Ronnie Reagan lol
Enough said...
The States will literally put these in schools before they make an 18 year old wait a week until they can take an AR-15 home. Cowards
Sounds like something Dr Evil would come up with instead of actually targeting the root is which is guns

How is the drone going to open an exterior door, then several interior doors, and not get taken down by something as simple as t-shirt being thrown into its blades in such close quarters? Maybe better designed to deal with street-level crime, and inconvenient protestors. Meh
