Dallas military veteran who study his goal 28 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: was to kill white police officers, opened fire Thursday night 29 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,839 Speaker 1: in downtown Dallas, leaving five officers dead seven wounded before 30 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: the police killed him with a remote controlled explosive that 31 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: was delivered by a robot. Here to tell us more 32 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: about this is Derek Parks. He is the president and 33 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: the chief executive of Metropolitan Protective Services Bay Suston, Lanham, Maryland. 34 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: Derek Parks, thanks for being with us, Thanks for having 35 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: me tell people a little bit about Metropolitan Protective Services 36 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: and this use of remote controlled robots to deliver explosive 37 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: devices in these kinds of situations. Okay, Well, Metropolity Protective 38 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: Services were a uniformed guards service company that provides uh 39 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: physical protection and remote protection for a lot of government 40 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: facilities around d C and Maryland and Virginia and also abroad. 41 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: But more specifically about the the robots in which the 42 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: police officers used is called the mock robots, which stands 43 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: for Multifunctioning Angle remote control Robots. This is the generic 44 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: robots you generally see, UM you allway may see him 45 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: in a movie or generally you'll see him along with 46 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: the hostage negotiations or the bomb squad that generally use 47 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: these kind of robot to deploy to investigate matters that 48 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,519 Speaker 1: they may think a little that's a little more dangerous 49 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 1: for human contact or for any kind of canine to 50 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: respond to sale. Send in a robot that usually have 51 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: a some kind of CCTV hooked up where they can 52 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: remotely see what's going on or maybe deliver uh a 53 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: package or phone or things that I make to too 54 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: would be suspect. But Derek U, I think it's also 55 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: very important for people to know that, you know, you 56 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: worked for many years as a police officer yourself, Uh, 57 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: you were an assistant police chief. So undoubtedly when you 58 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: saw the events unfolding last night, it could it's you know, 59 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: we all shocked feeling it, but certainly for you, um, 60 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: for the whole science. Now are the whole vocation of policing? 61 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: Are we? Are we in the midst of some kind 62 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: of big shift? We bring up the robot because it's 63 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: the first time that um A robot has been used 64 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: in this way in civilian life, right, Uh, God Master, 65 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: as suspect, it's happened a little bit in military. Right. 66 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: So you know in terms of the psychology, in terms 67 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: of the needs for police officers. Now, uh, where where 68 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: are we? Where are we heading? I think we are 69 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 1: definitely heading in it and in down the path in 70 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: which if we can remove the human threat and and 71 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: and deal with the situation without entering any police officers 72 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: or civilian casualties. I think that's the only way we 73 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: have to go. Uh. That has to be the direction 74 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: that we had in this particular situation where you have 75 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: a person that was hell bent on killing as many 76 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: police officers as he possibly could, and he went down 77 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: to that demonstration with that in mind. He put on 78 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 1: bulletproof vest, feet on this up with guns and even 79 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: I think they showed some small footage of the way 80 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: he actually attacked the police officers and shot him, you know, 81 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: in cold blood. Uh. This guy had military training and 82 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: he was held bent on killing as many police officers 83 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 1: as possible in this particular tirade. So I think that 84 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: the chief absolutely did the right thing and calling in 85 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: the tactics that were used to neutralize the situation. And 86 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: as we moved forward and as individuals get a little 87 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: more smarter and sharper, we have to look at what 88 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: the future holds available for us to use, uh in 89 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: dealing with these kinds of situations. So if robots and 90 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 1: and and drones something that we may have to really 91 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: take a hard look at, and a new way of 92 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: policing and and this century, and that's just what it is. 93 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: Just to give you this note that Taser International the 94 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: shares are up nearly six percent today, They're up nearly 95 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 1: fifty eight a sent so far this year. Of course, 96 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: Taser making uh those Taser of weapons and stunt guns, 97 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: but also making the photographic and video systems that can 98 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: be warned by police officers. Do you believe that that 99 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 1: is just going to be a requirement of all security 100 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: officers to wear some kind of video apparatus. Well, I 101 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: think that the video I think that is a near 102 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: a real possibility in the future as we noticed that 103 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 1: now video cameras cameras in general have become more prevalent 104 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 1: around the city. And I just think that it allows 105 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 1: everyone to uh use exercise good judgment while they're being recorded. 106 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 1: I mean, when you know the cameras rolling, when you 107 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: know that you're being recorded, you may behave slightly different 108 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: that could be for law enforcement and that could be 109 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 1: for would be suspects. So I think that, um that 110 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: I think it's a good move that everyone uh that 111 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: does that deals will law enforce him and do with 112 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: some kind of recording device while dealing with the public 113 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: and dealing with potential christy situations. Derek Parks, thank you 114 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: so very much for joining us from Maryland today.
