    Or if it could handle a case where someone manages to disarm a shooter and tries to turn their weapons on a second shooter.

    Though I don’t have any confidence someone in that case would survive cops either, assuming they don’t just sit outside.

    Heh, on that note, how well will the automated drones be able to differentiate shooters from police? Especially if it ends up being an off duty officer like in the case where they just sat around outside.

      Hell if it’s not automated like others claim, how quickly can those pilots discern? Cops have been known to pull up and shoot people with weapons, holding assailants at gunpoint.

      I also wonder what they’re planning on arming the drones with. I suspect a single shot would disable them… or a tennis racket.

        Yeah though at least they won’t be in fear of their own lives in the moment.

        Though proper prevention is the best option. It’s probably only a matter of time before a shooter goes in with strategy and tactics to take advantage of the chaos in such a situation.
