ED-209 doesn't react to Kinny pointing the gun at a human, and the guy in the suit whose name I can't remember even treats him like he's dumb for thinking it would.

It only reacts when the gun is pointed at itself. So its only purpose only exists because of itself.

This was always a kinda obvious detail to me, but nobody ever seems to mention it.

Got a clip for this scene? I haven't seen Robocop in probably over 30 years.

Ah okay, so it isn't protecting anyone except itself here.

They got at least one part of cop programming down pat.

Reckon I am misremembering the movie a bit, but didn't Dick set ED-209 to straight up kill that guy?

no, it was just knowingly cheaply made and programmed. he just wanted it pretty enough to win a contract with the military
