I'm grateful to all who've expressed concerns with our vote authorizing SFPD to use robots to kill suspects in extreme circumstances. Despite my own deep concerns with the policy, I voted for it after additional guardrails were added."Despite my own deep concerns with the policy, I voted for it after additional guardrails were added," Mar said in the post.
