ICE plans to spend up to $20 million to purchase thousands of “conductive distraction and de-escalation devices” for officers and agents by March

Distraction and de-escalation? Gee that sounds very reasonable.

Compliant Technologies says the devices function as a normal pair of patrol gloves until officers press a switch to activate their electrical mode. The gloves must be applied directly to someone’s skin to deliver a pain stimulus that typically helps an officer gain compliance within seconds, according to the company.

Ah, so not so much a de-escalation tool as a compliance enforcement device. I’ll give ten to one that within a month of deployment we hear stories of them grabbing some poor sod by the nuts with them to make him unlock his phone.

I can imagine. The only reason people think it’s okay to do to infants is that they cannot complain about it at the time.

The HPV vaccine is way more effective. Did you give you that?

I like any kind of dick, but I still don’t approve of pointless cosmetic surgery on infants. If he wants to be circumcised, let him grow up and decide for himself.
