Given the history of IoT botnets, the remote control aspect is exactly why this is a bad idea. Cops are not more technologically savvy than the average person. There's no way to tell at a glance if a death robot is controlled by good guys or bad guys. You just see a shotgun on tank treads rolling through the school hallway.

The worst mass shooting in history was made by a guy dressed up as a cop, there is no way to tell if anyone is a good guy before they start shooting.

Which event are you referring to? I thought Garissa University College attack (148 fatalities) was the worst worldwide.
