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

For now. Eventually when they've got these in every district they outsource drone piloting to save cost, either to India or AI.

Honestly, im not 100% against the concept. It's like a sprinkler system, but for shooters. And i reckon school resource officers aren't held to much of a standard either so...

That's a good point about the wifi jammers i admit. But I don't know of any active shooter events that involved someone who put that level of thought into it, not to say there arent any its just... idk.. Couldn't be that hard to swat it out of the air in a hallway...

Shooting reported on school campus.

Teach pulls out gun to protect students from shooter

Teacher mowed down by drone.

How are they supposed to know who the shooter is? If it's just finding the one with the gun, then I assume you have to ban teachers from bringing guns again.

That's why we need to invest in better facial recognition technology and keep detailed records of the movements of everyone in the world. How else will our autonomous killing machines know who the bad guys are? It's for your own good citizen.

I mean, presumably the pilot would be able to tell because the teacher with the gun is barricaded in a room with students theyre not shooting
