Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      Eh, he asks abt use of non-lethal disabling force. It should be asked. There was the time to do so here, @biasedreporter

      Maybe, maybe not. But there is no court in the US that would find a Garner violation. None.

      But if we're going to have robots involved like this there is no reason for lethal force, bc robots aren't alive. @biasedreporter

      It is the underlying guidelines and policy for lethal force at issue, not the magic appearance of a "robot".

      Except AGAIN, robots can't be killed, so claim of necessity of lethal force AGAINST WHAT is a real question. @biasedreporter

      Snipers not likely killed either. Yet they have long been a modality w/o this hysteria. OMG ROBOTS!! Meh.

      Snipers have the ability to shoot non-lethal disabling bullets into people's heads? Awesome if true. Oh wait. Not true @biasedreporter

      This is false dichotomy. You want to change lethal force guidelines, I'll eagerly join. But its more than robots

      And, frankly, saying what is "right" or "wrong" is laughable. It is a complex dynamic.
