Seriously? Isn’t that a very dystopian view of the future?

Yes, but makes sense - Boston Dynamics have funding from the US military and military tech seems to end up in the hands of police forces.

Dystopian? Yes. Unlikely? No.

Right now you have US military personnel sitting at a desk in Ohio launching missiles from a drone in Afghanistan to kill bad guys. Why wouldn't they also use killer robots when they become available?
