January 1, “Terrifying Implications”: Joe Rogan Blasts San Francisco’s New Policy

Published

San Francisco officials have granted city police officers the ability to legally kill people with robots. The new policy sparked backlash from critics, including podcaster Joe Rogan, who decried the decision as “tremendously insane.”

On Tuesday, the city’s Board of Supervisors voted 8-3 to grant the police department’s robots to use “a deadly force option when risk of loss of life to members of the public or officers is imminent and outweighs any other force option available to SFPD.”

Rogan, host of the popular podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience,” rebuked the decision in a statement posted to Instagram.

“This is such a f—king tremendously insane decision with terrifying implications,” Rogan wrote. “The fact that ANYONE thinks it’s ok to vote for robots gunning people down is fucking nuts, but that a majority is just bonkers.”

Rogan previously condemned granting robots the use of deadly force earlier in November, following the initial reports that city officials were considering the policy.

“What could go wrong using robots to kill people in a land where men can get pregnant and billions of dollars can be lost as amphetamine popping incels manage made up money,” Rogan wrote last month. “WE’RE FIIIIINE.”

San Francisco Supervisor Aaron Peskin reasoned that the policy was necessary in “an extraordinary circumstance where, in a virtually unimaginable emergency, they might want to deploy lethal force to render, in some horrific situation, somebody from being able to cause further harm.”

And it won’t stay at risk of life with liberals. Let it rot.

The Obama administration made the precedent when he authorized the murder of an American citizen without due process by drone strike in Yemen. Autonomous drones are next. As in Autonomous drones with Artificial Intelligence to make the decision whether or not to pull the trigger. And we are already behind the international power curve as it is with THAT technology. Elon Musk is entirely correct.

Whatever happened to sharp-shooters and swat teams? Professionals who are trained for this kind of work?
Who do we blame for wrongful death? The programmer?
How can the idea of armed robots shooting people be so popular with the public when absolutely no one appreciates being shot in the first place? Do Democrats have something dystopian in mind like Skynet?
