Washington Post:
From rocks, their followed edge weapons like knives and swords and missiles like arrows shot from bows. The bow and arrow, like the slingshot, were the first "standoff" weapons.

The unprecedented decision to remotely deliver lethal force was widely praised as way to eliminate a threat without risking more officers’ lives. Now some worry about the potential to overuse machines that can injure or kill suspects.
