$150,000 Robot Dog - HereOnThePrimalEdge - 01-21-2021
The Honolulu Police Department purchased a $150,000 Boston Dynamics robot dog. Do they really know what they’re going to do with it, or did somebody on the SWAT team say, this looks cool! Right now a bunch of 20 something officers are arguing over who gets the remote control next, and wondering if there’s enough CARES money for another one. With two, they’d get a lot more use out of them, squaring off in the department parking lot.

Don't worry, when it's obsolete and no longer works, they'll "donate" it to the BI.

... they'll "donate" it to the BI.
And within a week it’ll be posted on Big Island Thieves.
Either as lost, or stolen.

Maybe they could trade the robot dog for some vaccines.
