ICE Will Soon be Issued Electrified Gloves for "De-escalation"

Trump’s personal jackbooted thugs have been running rampant across America, kidnapping, assaulting, detaining, and pointing guns at people indiscriminately, and murdering innocents, all without oversight or repercussions. In case you’ve been living under a rock, I’m talking about ICE.

The masked secret police known for their wanton use of violence, excessive force, stalking, and intimidation are now about to get a new toy for tyranny. ICE is about to get $20 million to buy gloves that emit painful electric shocks. What’s the over-under on how many of these chuds end up hurting themselves?

The devices, called G.L.O.V.E, or Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter, are manufactured by Compliant Technologies, a Kentucky-based company that advertises its evil product as a “humane, low-optics, de-escalation solution for many situations facing our men and women in uniform.” Sooooo, a way to hurt people that “optically” doesn’t look as bad as beating, shooting, or spraying peperballs, when filmed, got it.

It’s like secret abuse of force, how cute. Let’s see the item in action.

The manufacturer warns against using its device on elderly people, pregnant women, children, and the severely handicapped, which is a guideline that we know the well-trained and restrained officers of ICE will absolutely follow. They also advise never putting more than two gloves on a person at a time.

The company also warns that the devices are not meant to be used against people merely exhibiting “verbal defiance or belligerence.” So yeah, give this to an organization whose members shoot women point blank after she says “I’m not mad at you dude.” ICE agents are notoriously temperamental guys who pop off at a hair trigger at anyone who criticizes or monitors them.

Jenn Rolnick Borchetta, deputy project director on policing at the American Civil Liberties Union, says this is inadvisable, as ICE has clearly shown and proven that they are untrained and do not have the capacity to restrain themselves.

“ICE spent the last year showing this country they are too quick to use force. Now they will be able to deploy electric shocks with the slight push of a button that maybe nobody else can see them do. Introducing gloves that can so easily be used to deliver terrible pain in encounters is a recipe for harm to the public,” she said in a statement.

Across the country, ICE agents have practiced excessive force, warrantless searches or arrests, racial profiling, wrongful detentions, and murder. The gloves are to be issued in September… oh great, just in time for them to be deployed to the polls!
