The assailant cooperated and the skirmish ended peacefully after the robot dog was sent to retrieve the weapon.
‘The bus driver and passengers evacuated and police surrounded the bus and called in the SWAT team,’ KTLA reported.
Arial footage off the standoff depicts shows officers deploying a “Quadruped Unmanned Ground Vehicle,” which was seen boarding and searching the bus for the weapon, and then retrieved it.
The robot’s name is “Spot,” which was ‘gifted to LAPD’s Metropolitan Division by the Los Angeles Police Foundation in March and approved for use in May,’ KTLA added.
Almost one year ago San Francisco approved the use of robots that can kill suspects with explosives.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Truly we live in the twilight zone and an open dystopian police state, especially in places like California quite clearly. Now we have the robodogs aiding and doing the policing – which I have been documenting on a number of occasions around the world; and the fact that holding onto a gun on a bus warrants a militarized SWAT team to get into a standoff, when the guy did not even use it or appear to have any sort of intent to use it. But this what the police state looks like and will only increase, especially more densely populated areas.
For thus hath the LORD of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast a mount against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her.
Jeremiah 6:6
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

I’ve seen some cop cam footage of robots retrieving a gun a few weeks ago, kinda funny, 40 cops with guns and had to get out a robot, the guy was 3 feet away from gun. What’s the problem; if he reaches for the gun, delete him, problem solved. Of course it was in California
Not sure of the gun laws in every state in the US, but I’ve read that it’s nigh impossible in Cali to obtain a concealed carry license. With all of the dangerous things going on, decent Americans should be permitted by authorities to protect themselves.
What if the guy was a decent person. Then some psycho decided to start a stabbing spree inside the bus. The guy with the gun could’ve stopped him and saved lives.
Why?? that would make to much sense, didn’t you know that the gun is what causes all the problem; not the man behind it? LOL, I know what ya mean.
Those guns can just jump off the table and kill people?! that’s how gun control nuts think, a evil person don’t follow laws, and is going to kill no matter he has, knife, car or chainsaw.
I know it’s just ridiculous. We have even more serious threats now in the States and Canada. But we know our governments are setting up a huge chunk of the masses to be destroyed. Take care out there.
How can it be a stand-off when the man was never a threat? This is a propagandizing publicity stunt to instill further fear into the masses. It will work! Lunatic Orwell would be mighty pleased to see these draconian measures being employed on law-abiding citizens.
