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.

    What a hilariously stupid take. The cops have earned every ounce of hate that they get, and then some. How’s that boot taste, buddy?

      Sorry but I don’t have time to waste on people who start a comment with

      What a hilariously stupid take.

      (apart from the obvious - calling them out for their bad-faith tactics)

      In the future, make comments of substance rather than waste time with “I disagree and you are dumb.”
