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.
Why does this country keep worshipping a cruel and unnecessarily violent police force in every corner of its society? You’d think enough regular folks have had a bad enough experience to want to reign it in over time.
I absolutely hate cops and have had horrible experiences with them my entire life. I don’t understand this cop worship either they’re always the dumbest most abusive people you knew growing up.
have you seen the copanganda, military worship that goes on media/films thats how they reinforce that control.
Oh, that’s easy. The draconian measures that I support are to be used on them, not me and my folk!
