THE GLOVES ARE OFF: ICE, ELECTRIC SHOCK WEAPONS AND SECRET POLICE
-This is what comes of giving a lawless agency unlimited funds to build detention centers, terrorize communities, and act as a secret police force.
-Anything goes.
-Masked raids. Unmarked vehicles. Warrantless arrests. Racial profiling. Sweeping surveillance. Detention camps. Excessive force. Citizens dragged off the streets. Protesters targeted. Congressional oversight obstructed.
-Now add electric shock gloves to the arsenal.
-Immigration and Customs Enforcement is preparing to spend as much as $20 million to equip its agents with thousands of gloves capable of delivering painful electric shocks through direct contact with a person’s skin.
-The devices are called G.L.O.V.E.s—Generated Low Output Voltage Emitters—and the government has dressed them up in the predictably sanitized language of the police state as “conductive distraction and de-escalation devices.”
-Don’t be fooled by the benign-sounding euphemisms.
-These are pain-compliance weapons.
