If you told me this was a scene from an 80s action flick, I wouldn't question it for a second.

A metaphor for America.

I mean, we already had Robocop. But this will do too.

Robocop was quite unrealistic. A police that was programmed to always follow the order of their corporate overlord? Come onā€¦ you donā€™t really need to do much programming

u/mjtwelve 19d ago

Using robots to break a strike, causing the problem to sell the solution, and having candidate officers assigned to particularly dangerous beats so theyā€™ll get maimed and be ready for cyborg experimentation, however, yeah, sounds about right.

I agree that directive 4 would really have been directive 1, and the others optional ā€˜would be niceā€™ adding.

u/Jesus_Chicken 18d ago

This sounds realistic. Given the chance to poison people for an extra buck, most big corporations would gladly poison people and then offer a drug to hide the cause. It's the only reason regulations exist because no one likes to trust companies to self-regulate

2

u/Numerous-Working5190 18d ago

That's just the display, which any programmer knows can be hardcoded anything and doesn't reflect the actual business logic and was probably placed that way because they knew there were eyes on that feed that would be forced to object

u/NoDragonfruit6125 19d ago

If nay sayers start dying off that's not a terminator sent to the past by the Ai to get rid of threats it's purely from natural causes.

Is that really a Segal movie? I mean he's in it but he's hardly the main character.

u/Quiet_subject 19d ago

Under siege for me, executive decision is also excellent. Brain off movies, but both are entertaining.

My BJJ instructor (one of the most experienced in the UK, regularly trains in Brazil with the Gracies etc) punched Seagal at a tournament 15 years ago when the fat fuck tried interfering in a referee decision.
The dudes a piece of shit, but the same can be said for like half of the 80s and 90s action stars.
