Skid steer modified into riot control vehicle

As daunting as the riot control vehicles look, I think I'd rather have to deal with them than the alternative:

I agree with you Jon I wouldn't want to be in the vicinity of those blue bottles, but there is little chance of me ever finding myself in the vicinity or a riot not on the ground at least from a bell tower or roof top maybe but never in a crowd.

Ok I'm not so sure the world will ever be ready for robocops and lately I have been noticing far more advancements in technologies than the humans who are inventing them have full comprehension or the possible outcomes of these technologies.
Dozens of Sifi writers though out the ages have written down their visions of how the world could be changed forever through certain imagined 'at the time of writing at least' technologies when properly implemented benefit mankind there have also been those who have realized just because we learn how to do something is not always the greatest thing we could have done by doing it. the dark side of these inventive technologies is and always will be a very real probability not just a possibility.

Unfortunately the ancient section of man's brain, referred to as 'the reptilian brain' is still there, and although it is not malevolent in itself, it's need to "win" causes it to turn any/every thing into a control mechanism, otherwise, why in hell would you make such a thing, and attempt to make it resemble humanity?
There is a word for it.....megalomania.
What 'we' need now is a controlled EMP, (no doubt what Star Trek call "shields")
