“The L.A. City Council voted in May to accept the donation of the $280,000 dog-like robot for use by the LAPD.”
Had to look that up;)

Robo-dog catches man sleeping during standoff with LAPD
Police responded to Melrose and Western avenues in Hollywood just before 4 a.m. after receiving a report of an armed man on a bus.
In other news LAPD suffers its worse day of officer suicides in one day.
Love this. Instead of sending guys in there guns blazing that could figure out it was just a BB gun. Why do they need to question him? Biggest yikes was that they all freaked out over noticing a guy was armed. This should be normal.
The police assert control over your body. And when they have to, they will put your life at major risk in the service of them doing so with the least possible risk to themselves. Someday we’ll have robots that surround people and patiently carry them away to wherever the police want them instead of nervous, lethally armed people of average intelligence. It sounds dystopian, but is the status quo better?
I mostly agree with this. I do respect this is scaredafornia so very well might be scaredy pants, but depending on how he and his items were strewn out across the back of the bus, I’m not sure a fellow bus rider crawling crossed a sleeping man to disarm him of the weapon that’s fallen haphazardly out of his belongings is the right move. Either way unfair to describe that as noticing a guy is armed. Id like to assume it was some mix of the two.
I've seen this black mirror, 😂
