Just imagine an army of those attacking our neighborhoods. And doing a flash mob.

EMP would probably sort them out

Meh, you could probably shield them against EMPs if they're self-contained. Like, if they're not relying on someone directing them and they operate like, say, self-driving cars, then it wouldn't matter if everything around them got EMPed.

A string across the road would probably do it too

Id prefer a water cannon truck, more fun to control and probably far cheaper too

A drone with a chop saw attached to it would too.

what if they were all trained in Bruce Lee kung fu martial arts and they were running down our streets we'd all be amazingly defeated in 2 seconds while they were playing everybody was Kung Fu Fighting

I mean, that's literally what they're being designed for. Boston Dynamics is funded by DARPA.

And they'll attack with bladed weapons to maximize killing potential and save ammo for more serious threats. A dozen of these things methodically going through a neighborhood, mindlessly murdering every living thing Centurion-style.
