Ghandi said you can judge a society by how it treats animals.

And to that we can add "and it's schoolchildren."

How compatible are these with a super soaker filled with saline? Asking for a friend.

Setting aside the morality of these vs other force options, these run at $1650/pair if I’m reading it correctly - $66k for 40. Anyone else find it like an insane amount of money for a device that’s so simple?

I always though in order to be able use these gadgets, The user should be required to submit themselves to its use on themselves. That includes stun guns and these hand shock gadgets.

I want the police to have a lot of options available to them, to avoid the “everything looks like a nail” problem.

Something about this feels icky though. Maybe because it’s easy to imagine this being misused or abused.

This looks pretty similar to those randomly timed electro-stimulation pads attached to the butt that you sometimes see in furry BDSM circles.

Ah yes. This was the future they envisioned. Nothing cruel and unusual about this. Because it’s not “punishment” - just incidental assault during the booking process.

Flagged? This is a story about technology and its effects on society. Get stuffed with this censorship BS.

I do not see the big deal. I guess some have never encountered paraprofessionals and heard their stories?

Are these worse than Tasers? I would think a Taser's form factor makes it far more likely to be used.
