Omaha police agreed this week to stop carrying gloves that can deliver electric shocks to students in the halls of Nebraska’s largest public school district.
The decision affecting most Omaha middle and high schools came after The Associated Press first revealed Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s plan to give officers the gloves, which are known as G.L.O.V.E.s or Generated Low Output Voltage Emitters. The devices have also been used in recent years by some jails.
Omaha Superintendent Matthew Ray requested that police working in the schools, known as school resource officers, stop using the gloves. Omaha Police agreed.
Electricity is truly a weapon of state terror. Not only the pain, but you completely lose control of your body in an (bonus points) undignified manner. And while it’s so intensely affecting it’s usually not lethal, nor will it leave obvious marks.
It’s the perfect weapon of casual torture for power tripping bastards.
