Police shot so many people I founded a startup building drones that stop bullets in 2015 because engineering has a better chance at succeeding than expecting anybody to act right

How do the bullet-stopping drones work?

Thats a really in depth question. Linked the white papers. They are armored. They get in the way of the first gun in the first hand they identify. They are indiscriminate. Incapable of discerning friend from foe. So any hand, any gun. They work in groups. Also great for stopping mass shootings

Fascinating. Metal foams and composite materials to stop bullets? After they’ve been fired?

Yes. With the understanding that the drones are expected to be destroyed in the process. The objective is to slow a shooter down long enough to be stopped.
