The United States is continuing to make huge strides in making the world of RoboCop a reality. In today’s “wow that’s dystopian” news, we’ve learned that “select American schools” will soon have the privilege of hosting a fleet of armed airborne drones that’ll theoretically swarm and incapacitate any potential school shooters. Described as “drone officers” by defense company Campus Guardian Angel, they promise a near-instant response to an armed attack on a school. As the report shows, a silent alarm alerts the company, and the drones are released. Human drone pilots based in the company headquarters in Austin then leap into action, flying the craft through the school corridors and incapacitating their target with a barrage of rounds, capped off by flying the drone directly into them: ICYMI – Attack drones will be deployed at select U.S. schools to stop school shooters in emergencies, by Campus Guardian Angel, a company founded by U.S. military and defense contractors. pic.twitter.com/AX5qxUgePk— Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) July 28, 2025 The pilots sound gung-ho about their new jobs, saying, “it sounds crazy but it may work, I said “we’re in!”‘. The company has ambitions to put these drones “in every school in America”. Many countries around the world have experienced nightmarish school shootings that have shocked their countries, like the Dunblane shooting in the United Kingdom. The general response from those countries afflicted is simply to restrict gun sales to regular people, with those laws seeing school shootings rapidly declining or disappearing altogether. Our wonderful future But, of course, the United States can’t do that. This is ‘Murica after all. And so the nation’s schools must resort to an ever-increasingly ridiculous security theater involving active shooter drills, armored backpacks, reinforced doors, armed officers patrolling the halls, teachers with handguns hidden in their desks, and now armed drones whizzing through the corridors. And, as the comments point out, maybe having a fleet of armed drones ready to fly through the halls and attack people on a moment’s notice makes schools more dangerous. Others wonder if it’d be possible to hack them, potentially remotely hijacking the signal and deploying them against the terrified teachers and staff. It’s depressing that at no point will politicians ever consider taking action that’d stop school shooters before they ever make plans by increasing funding for mental health care or restricting gun ownership. Why do all their solutions only come into play once the shooter is already active and presumably having started their attack? Oh well, I guess there’s nothing that can be done! Release the drones!
