The 1980s action movie 'Robocop' took place in a dystopian Detroit, but Denver looks to emulate the film by employing drones to fight crime after cutting millions from the police budget to aid illegal immigrants.
What could possibly go wrong here?

Yikes.
The Denver Police Department (DPD) will soon use drones as first responders after the city cut millions from the force's budget to aid migrants.
Denver Mayor Mike Johnston announced in April a plan to cut a combined $45.9 million worth of expenses from city agencies. The police department alone received a cut of $8.4 million, while the fire department's budget was slashed by $2.5 million.
A DPD spokesperson confirmed to The National Desk (TND) Tuesday drones are becoming a more substantial part of their operations and could soon replace humans for some 911 calls. The department is expected to launch its drone program within the next six months thanks to a $100,000 grant from the Denver Police Foundation. Drones could also be deployed to provide additional information about crime scenes to help police officers determine the correct response.
So residents of Denver pay taxes for police and fire services, and those services are being cut back so their tax dollars go to illegal immigrants.

We love a good 'Battlestar Galactica' reference.
And how is a drone going to assist someone?

There you go, asking reasonable questions again.

Probably your best options in Denver, right now.
Should’ve hired more social workers

Pretty much.
This is the plot of Robocop. https://t.co/yhKRmLkd7i

And we all know how that played out.
"What sequence of events would cause this to happen in Denver before, say, Detroit?" I ponder, before realizing in Detroit the locals would eat the drones https://t.co/NMAuME64bm

This writer predicts the criminals in Denver will shoot down all these drones in the next three months.
This is brilliant, use tax payer money to take care of people that shouldn't be here instead of using it to protect them. Every single time I don't think I can have any more contempt for government they find a way for me to hate them more. The worst amongst us. https://t.co/0X6yihr667

We don't despise the government nearly as much as it despises us.
And the drone can assess the emergency and apply aid? Asking for a friend. https://t.co/w2FTUHyP36

At best, the drone will take a video of the criminal, who will then be set free by some leftwing judge.
This ends terribly.

Until people vote differently, make it hurt.

Consider the absurdity of reallocating limited resources away from order and safety and toward financial aid for a cohort that entered our country illegally. https://t.co/sTUVhDpPAa
It's insane, but the Left is doing it everywhere.
911 operator: what's your emergency?

Caller: there's an armed robber in my house
911 operator: calm down sir, a drone in on its way. https://t.co/C0O5Win9z7
Good luck, Denver. You're gonna need it.
