Zero surprise that these are explicitly designed to cause pain without leaving a mark, not to incapacitate.
Yes, we're spending $20M to buy ICE agents torture devices.

Electric shock gloves sound like something that would wind up on the Gestapo's wish list.
But, please, *don't* call ICE the American Gestapo. It hurts their feelings.

In no other Western democracy would the people allow those brownshirts in their streets for more than 5 minutes. Last Sept. France sent out 80,000 cops & special forces in battle gear just to deal with demos against an 'austerity budget'. Those cops soon fled, and did not dare return to the streets.

You’ve got to be shitting me.
We’re spending $20 MILLION of our tax dollars on stun gloves. And we’re supposed to pretend this will cut down on lethal force AND that ICE has good judgment?
This is going to lead to more abuse, not less.

Reporter: DHS plans to spend $10-20M on Taser gloves so when they arrest people, they will be tased.
Hochul: That appears to me, on its face, to be a civil rights violation.
James: It appears to violate several laws.
