Because someday, one rogue programmer working at the police department will get into the system and reprogram the bots, and for the next month and a half, the robots will roll all across the city, saying "ALL LIVES MATTER. ALL LIVES MATTER. ALL LIVES MATTER. ALL LIVES MATTER. ALL LIVES MATTER."

Dr. Who fans know the score. The Daleks were born of British fiction. You know what comes next. "EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!"

If they actually deployed police robots that applied the law using advanced AI that took into account all of the crime statistics, the perps criminal record, the perps behavior when stopped, everyone would complain because the robots are RaYcISSsS.

Just like that AI chat bot that turned into a super racist and they had to shut it down.

This would lead to “diversity programmers” tampering with the code to get the robot to artificially bias towards whites and ignore black and POC crime and next thing you know, it’s like Robocop 2 when they added hundreds of new directives because Robocop was too mean.
