Deadly Robots
On Tuesday, November 29, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted to approve the use of potentially deadly robots by the police department. The 8-3 vote came after a heated debate about whether or not the decision would violate the civil liberties of people or lead to the increased militarization of law enforcement.

Watchdog groups and the ACLU urged the liberal city to reject the proposal. The Guardian reported these organizations were arguing how minority groups were already disproportionately targeted by police. They also believe the guidelines are too vague. Under the policy, only high-ranking officers will have permission to authorize deadly force.
