nicetriangle, Insane waste of money
darkfiremp3, How long till it’s pushed on the tracks
Trebach, The day an officer isn't accompanying it, if not before
fruitleatherpostcard, Oh thank god. I really hope it has a 50 calibre Gatling gun affixed to its crotch and an itchy trigger finger. I mean they are just too many people and so little time.
paper_clip, "anyone who tried to harm the robot would be identified and arrested."
But what if you sneak up and dress it like a Dalek, maybe with a speaker that yells out, "IT IS THE DOCTOR! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!" That cannot possibly be a crime.
teft, Paint ball gun the cameras

CookieJarObserver, Obviously the bot is from muricaland.
palordrolap, This one doesn't look like it has weapons, but I really hope it's programmed to have a squealing freak-out if it falls down some stairs.
Pons_Aelius, No weapons?
I give it a week before someone destroys it for shits and giggles.
Haus, A 420-pound, 5-foot-2 robocop
At least it's the same dimensions as the regular cops.
Madison_rogue, moves at a maximum speed of 3 miles per hour.
The resemblence to real police officers is uncanny.
