      Well this is about the US, so I’ll focus on them. Their police kill 1000 people every year and the US has the highest incarceration rate in the developed world, as well as the single largest imprisoned population. As for soldiers, their wars kill people by the millions.

        Not news. Sounds like you’re trying to normalize MAGA’s quota driven, race-profiling, warrant bypassing, masked ICE. No such thing existed when employees joined Boston Dynamics.

          The exact opposite. I’m trying to tell you that the US is an evil country and always has been, long before MAGA.

          It has one of the most violent police forces in the world, the most violent military in the world, and that is who they were making robot dogs for before ICE. That’s why this is so ridiculous, they’re acting like their hands were clean before.

            I would not expect any country to give up police and defence. But I think ICE can return to what it was before MAGA. I’m willing to criticize MAGA and their ICE, but not the US as a whole.

                How have I been satisfied? You’re apparently expecting something from me. Please explain. The topic here is ICE and one company: Boston Dynamics.

                  You’re defending Boston Dynamics for some reason.

                  The US military and police aren’t defense. They’re offense. That’s the problem, and that’s what these robots were always for.

                    Thousands of companies work in robotics. Boston Dynamics, owned by Hyundai is only one of them. They sell to many different clients all over the world having various different projects or goals, security related and not. I have no reason to dislike a robotics company. I have no problem with anyone selling a piano. I have a problem with a piano buyer launching that piano towards someone else for no good reason.

                    Boeing makes military stuff too, yet tourists on vacation support them wearing shorts, a margarita in hand. And guess how much gasoline and diesel Exxon and Chevron sell to the military each year. No, Boston Dynamics in no where near any of my concerns.
