I am sure they will shoot at anyone that pulls a gun out
Why do you think that? Police shoot people out of fear for there life. Robots would be bullet proof and have no fear for their lives. In fact why would a robot cop need a gun at all?
I am sure that they will break people's arms if they resist and slam their heads against the hood harder than a regular cop will.
No reason to use force when your 10 times stronger than the criminal and can't be hurt. Their hands would be like hand cuffs. Again cops slam people down because they can be over come physically. This is not an issue with robots.

Thought you were going to talk not needing cops, not just replacing them with a different kind of cop. I don't need cops, period....

But many people do. You know, people who are robbed, extorted, abused, etc.
But who cares about those people, right?

Robots knocking low-lifes and hillbillies around would combine two very entertaining types of reality shows.
A properly prepared gang of thugs could confuse a robot with a flashlight and a barking dog. Steal the robots gun and use it on the human cops when they came to collect the disabled pile of junk once known as unit 31.
The prop house still has a robot suit.
thanks for the short film concept. Lends itself to greenscreen and a little cgi tweaking. Casting call coming soon. Who needs a exprod. imdb credit?

A gun could tear apart a robot in no time. To be mobile, it would have to be made of light weight metals. a steel type shell could easily pierce that.
I do not know any robot that a person could not outrun, only old or crippled criminals will be caught.

Extreme silliness. Next time you call 911 to report someone breaking into your house, they'll send a robot in an hour or so.
More reason to buy a gun an deal with it yourself....

So? You can still file a report and potentially the perps will be caught.
Do you not see the value in that? You suggest its better to forget about crime committed and move on with your life?

If someone breaks into your house, you can use lethal force if you are afraid of great bodily harm or death

Use you'r imagination a little. If people lost the false idea that cops are there to protect them and realized that they needed to protect themselves. Cops are not capable of protecting anyone. I live 20 minuets from the nearest cop. Do I think they can protect me? Not a chance.
