Civil rights advocates expressed alarm, saying ICE officers already face criticism for their use of force with little oversight or accountability while enforcing President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.

      Because the planet is dying.Resources are running out. The system is collapsing. In times of societal stress the human is programmed to:

      • Grab everything you can
      • Gravitate to ruthless leaders (who would hopefully sort things out)
      • Root out the perceived enemy

    More people will flee, push, shove, fight back, and react harder if grabbed or tagged to the ground because of those gloves. So: more people will end up shot by ICE goons.

      Hopefully they will run out of of bullets before we run out of humans, so we can more easily return the treatment.

    Hopefully they forget they’re wearing them, and scratch their balls.

    Can the gloves detect ball scratching apart from ball grabbing? I hope not.

    You just know the “officers” are salivating at the chance to use this for the lulz on anyone they don’t like, to use it to torture the detained, whether freshly-kidnapped or long-term concentration camp prisoners. Cruelty = entertainment.

    This reminds me of Krieger’s ultimate bum shock fights. From Archer.

    Which is now apparently reality.
