So police officers should just carry out their duty and charge with reckless abandon toward the business end of an AR-15 like automatons? Wait...

Yeah, if we go down this path, then maybe (just maybe), introducing robots with guns isn't really the best approach.
Even a robot with a fake gun is better than no robot. If the shooter is distracted by the robot then the police have a better chance to take him out.

In addition to fake gun the robot should have a camera too, so that police can see him.

Dazzler, bean bag rounds, pepper spray, camera.
