Reprehensible and un-American. This is Trump's dystopian dictatorship.

Lawd, if we only could reverse the polarity. Already the highest-funded U.S. law enforcement agency, what's another $20 million to add to the $85 billion they already have? MELT ICE.

You are right, Skepticat. At the very least I think these gloves ought to hurt whoever is using them on someone else. Meanwhile that money could be used to provide food for people who can no longer afford it. So bloody disgusting.

Oooo. EXCELLENT tagline: MELT ICE!

What a lovely idea!

Love your clever wording on the back of the ICE vest.

These shock gloves are precisely the natural progression of ICE cruelty.

And this just makes them even more perfect: "if a device leaves little visible evidence, allegations of misuse become harder to prove."

There are no “right” hands for those gloves to fall into. Thank you for your great work, Nick. You are a national treasure.

Worse even than the gloves are the poorly-recruited, poorly-trained thugs wearing them.

So now they'll give people chocks before killing them, those ICE goons.

After reading, one can ALSO guarantee what these will be used for: GRABBING MEN'S GROINS.

This sums up my reaction completely. If ever there was a development that was universally detested on sight, the whole concept of those shock gloves -- particularly on ICE hands -- just gives me chills. And the fact that it's a PR nightmare is somehow viewed by these goons as . . . a good thing? YIKES!

Founder & CEO of Compliant Technologies (for starters, how's THAT for a nice sounding corporate name about coercion) Jeff Nicklaus has this final paragraph blurb on the company's website. "...Jeff remains committed to the vital protection of our sovereign nation and the safety of our dedicated men and women working at all levels of public service and military forces. Through Compliant Technologies, he aims to provide these individuals with effective, non-lethal weapons that will enhance their abilities to achieve their objectives. He and his team at Compliant Technologies look forward to serving you and suppling you with an atypical technology for an atypical world." All the familiar MAGA verbage. Nice, eh?

Except we ALL know how those gloves will ACTUALLY work: the 12-14 year old scrawny preteens and teens of ICE will be shocking EACH OTHER "for the lulz." 😂

Abject cruelty is the reason, as with all fascist regeims.

Typical dictator cruelty. May drump and the head of Homeland Security and the thugs in ICE all suffer the torments of hell forever. Forgive my bitter reaction but this is so utterly vile. Drump and his gestapo goons.
