*** As mentioned, the whole point of Robocop was his ability to use human judgment in evaluating circumstances (such as whether a suspect has dropped his gun). Directive 4 wasn't some totally self-contained piece of programming, it called out to other subroutines. Dick Jones wasn't a programmer, he just gave the order to someone who was, who sensibly coded a function to check whether Robocop's current "target" is an OCP officer. That function then called ''another'' function which invoked Robocop's human assessment ability, which was already being used for engagement scenarios, to evaluate the target. The programmer then reported back that Dick's order had been implemented in the best, most reliable way possible, which was true, because it ''re-used well-tested code and existing features''. That's how good programming is done.
