Sure, we know how this works: cities need to justify their budgets for one after another appropriation from state and inhabitant governments, so they buy costly — as well as mostly nonessential — high-tech toys for their police. And when your town’s ready to have that transition from Barney Fife to HIT, why not call Inspector Bots? The paramilitary inlet of the Mega Hurtz Tactical Robot isn’t malleable by a delicious joke in the name, and if you don’t hold us ask any nogoodnik who’s had to face down the turret-mounted 20RPS Modified Mil-Sim Paintball Gun / Assault Rifle, capable of banishment off twenty non-lethal (but intensely unpleasant pepperball rounds per second. The savage is billed as the “heavy duty 280 lb two-man-portable beast” which can record audio as well as video, be tranquil by a remote operator, as well as has night prophesy capacity. But which ain’t all! Not only does it feature the welded steel chassis written to explode doors and concrete walls, it additionally looks really overwhelming in the video… even if it doesn’t make the streets safer. See for yourself after a mangle.
