Texas Schools Add Attack Drones To Protect Students

Most school shootings are over just minutes after they’ve begun, Marston says, but the quick-response action of the drones might buy the few extra minutes needed for SWAT teams to arrive and arrest, successfully saving lives

Assuming the cops go into the school to save the kids. Cops in America are fucking cowards and won’t put themselves at risk to help anyone, even kids frantically calling 911 as they’re killed by the shooter.

So now students ulin the US have to fear school shootings AND drones?

We're going to play game: USA School or Ukraine. I'll state some facts and for each, you tell me if that takes place in a school in the USA, or somewhere in Ukraine.

Yeah, because let's not tacle the problem at its root!

“If you've got something that's preemptive, that's immediate, that's already there, you just can't kill that many people in 10 to 15 seconds,” Marston said.

Absolutely wild thing to pitch for a sale.

Mass shooters are gonna start speed running.

"The high-tech drones, which are piloted by a team of former military men and nationally ranked professional drone racers"

Given that these are being controlled from a remote site, I'm surprised there's so little latency involved with that they can accurately fly at 100mph.

(I'm guessing they're not straight-up using RF to control them given the need for the tiny drones to broadcast video over large distances - I assume they're relying on internet + WiFi.)

Also this quote from the CEO:

"It costs about $1,000 per month for a school of 500 students, or roughly $4 per student"

Does not instill confidence.

"What's $1000 / 500? ... $4?"
