This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Something tells me thry won't be using them specifically for school shootings.
next thing it will be drones with guns.
These are absolutely going to be used to break up big fights, then small fights, then arguments, then they'll just be roaming the halls looking for any undesirable activities.
Hmm... maybe they could help at elections, watch and ensure everybody ticks the boxes in the proper column...
Cool, so some fucker from thousands of miles away can control a drone with "less" lethal rounds and explosions. What could possibly go wrong!?
Face shields cost only a few bucks. I don't think this achieves anything.
Are you even tacticool if you don't show up to your school shooting wearing one?
You know how conservatives yell about protecting the children? HEY MOTHERFUCKERS, KIDS NEED A SAFE ENVIRONMENT TO LEARN AND JUST BE WITHOUT GODDAMN ARMED DRONES FLYING AROUND THE HALLS OF THEIR SCHOOLS. THAT SHIT IS PERVERSE AND WEIRD. WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE THINKING? IS NOTHING SACRED? LEAVE THE FUCKIN CHILDREN ALONE.
And those drones will be controlled by ChatGPT/Grok.
School during a lockdown is a perfect place for a high-speed wheeled vehicle.
Anything but regulate guns
Why not a flash bang? No really, what's the risk?
Wouldn't this be a police tool?
Why not give the drone a gun?
Gotta get the drones out there first.
Tasers are next. Then guns with rubber bullets. Then guns with regular bullets.

I got these for the office to stop people from slacking off. Works like a charm. They’ll get you good if you spend too long at the water cooler.
I'll send you my script to have them monitor bathroom usage. I've perfected lobing the pepper balls over the bathroom partitions.
Drones are an effective tool on an open battle field; but they operate under wildly different conditions. Wide open spaces and short contacts (find target, ram to explode. They don't have to loiter and maintain that contact).
A pepper spray equipped drone in a school??? Tight enclosed spaces with halls and doorways (that are usually closed) you've got to navigate. Quad copters are loud, and that'd be amplified by that enclosed space. Without sufficient distance to keep out of reach they'd be an easy target to take down by the assailant. To use the spray, you'd have to get near, deploy it, and escape before being struck down; giving the spray to the assailant to harvest and use.
AND they've only got 8min of flight time.
If the reasons for school shootings, in some cases is bullying, perhaps schools need to do MORE to create a school community that is more inclisive, respectful and welcoming to all. However we also need to build up resilience in people, as not everyone is going to treat you nicely all the time, and we need to, in some cases have thicker skin and the ability to say NO and STOP to people in such a way that they then STOP.
Uh, FUCK THAT? Maybe?
Are they bulletproof?
Damn. I wished we had those in our school back then. What mischief I could have done with a borrowed drone like that...
