In an abrupt reversal amid public outcry, San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors has temporarily changed its decision to permit the city’s police department to kill people with robots, various news outlets reported.

“There have been more killings at the hands of police than any other year on record nationwide,” said District Supervisor Dean Preston in a statement, who changed his vote from last week. “We should be working on ways to decrease the use of force by local law enforcement, not giving them new tools to kill people.”
