    “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.

    That’s their bar? Killing people for up to 15 seconds That’s not so bad?

    How much you want to bet it’s using AI to determine who the shooter is. How much you want to bet is capable of false positives…

      Confidently wrong false positives, but only more than 60% of the time.

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

        former military men

        Cops.

        nationally ranked professional drone racers

        Jimmy is one of the cops’ kids and needed a job. He’s nationally ranked #2863883.

        Gotta learn to read between the bullshit 😁

          Oh… They might log into their account for the remote piloting app, making the drone deploy within 15 seconds.

          But then they have to navigate the school manually and find the shooter. But have you ever tried to navigate a high school you’ve never set foot in before?

          The main building has three flores (2, 3 and 4), between 1990-2015 they added the A, B and C buildings. A and B are on a hill, so A only has floors 1 & 2, B has floors 3 & 4. You have to go through the science building to get to the C building. Last year they added the L building next to the track. Weirdly L is right next to A (but it’s shaped like an L) also it’s not physically connected to the rest of the buildings, you have to cross the courtyard. The science building doesn’t have a letter, but it’s next to the gym, you can’t miss it.

          Alright pilots, the shooter is in the M building pop up extension. Go get em.

          And a short 45 minutes it’s all over…

      But on the upside the drone fleet will always be monitoring and collecting data as far away as their little robot eyes can see

      Or if it could handle a case where someone manages to disarm a shooter and tries to turn their weapons on a second shooter.

      Though I don’t have any confidence someone in that case would survive cops either, assuming they don’t just sit outside.

      Heh, on that note, how well will the automated drones be able to differentiate shooters from police? Especially if it ends up being an off duty officer like in the case where they just sat around outside.

        Hell if it’s not automated like others claim, how quickly can those pilots discern? Cops have been known to pull up and shoot people with weapons, holding assailants at gunpoint.

        I also wonder what they’re planning on arming the drones with. I suspect a single shot would disable them… or a tennis racket.

          Yeah though at least they won’t be in fear of their own lives in the moment.

          Though proper prevention is the best option. It’s probably only a matter of time before a shooter goes in with strategy and tactics to take advantage of the chaos in such a situation.
