In before they shoot down the drones.
"Welcome to City 17!"
Time to dust off the crowbar
It's gonna take more than a crowbar to get us out of this one
I can imagine being robbed and a drone just flies around with blinking red and blue lights with a siren.
📢 POLICE ARE ON THEIR WAY - ESTIMATED WAIT TIME IS 25-30 MINUTES 📢
Nice. We finally know we’re in the Watch Dogs universe.
Or creeping into Slaughterbots terrority.
When do they get the Department of Precrime to go with it?
We need them psychic triplets first.
No problem, Trump supporters will tell them the color of the neighborhoods to target.
So even more useless than it already is?
Just want until the drones discover Candy Crush. Then the drones will get drones.
Shit shit shit just everywhere all shit
It would be so unfortunate if someone made an Open source hardware version of anti-drone guns...
The first time someone shoots one down, they're going to make it so that downing a drone has the same criminal penalty as attacking an officer. Mark my words.
But like the police dogs. They’ll abuse them themselves without issue.
I’m sure they’ll put them back in storage after problems are resolved…NOT.
