* Forget Foot and Bike Patrols


I might as well give up my more 'foot and bike' patrols for Morse Avenue. From the looks of things - our mayor and Alderman will soon be be replacing the police department of all human personal. Spicago will be nothing more than cameras and robots catching the bad guys, then sending the violations out in the mail.

I wonder who's mother/brother/daughter/cousin is the broker/lobbyist on this deal?

water canon for the one for firefighters. also can hold a shotgun for police activities.

if you saw chicago tonight on channel 11, it took over a minute and a half to go up two stairs. what a joke.

RP Dude sez.....>" It could water the flower planters."

You said that as if there's flowers in the planters.

I was thinking every SSA should get one too - but the choir boys would have this thing stripped for parts in 24 hours.

i think it was 135k per robot. maybe more. how much would maintenance cost?

it does have 4 cameras, so thugs would get their picture taken as they try and strip it for parts.

TOP TEN REASONS ROBOTS ARE BETTER THAN BEAT COPS

I'll start.

1. Robots don't demand salary or benefits or pensions.

2. Robots don't need donut breaks.

3. Robots don't read newspapers or sleep in their cars.

4. Robots can't be sued for brutality.

I'm sorry -- Craig, did you just say 'Spicago'?

5. Robots don't outgrow their uniforms.
