Cruelty is they're goal.

I hope they get rained on and glitch out dead.

Oh, this won't be abused.

Quit hitting yourself childhood antics may soon become handy and vital for survival.

What kind of looney tunes shit is this

What kind of useless can’t-get-work-anywhere-else fuckwad engineers design this shit? Flock not hiring anymore?

Tragic masturbation accident incoming.

What dystopian sci-fi story did this idea come from?

Why am I laughing at this? Is it because reality has become so ridiculously like a dark graphic novel?

Now we’re going to get grope-shocked by idiots who probably shock themselves before they get their hands on us.

Looking forward to the officers accidentally shocking their nuts when they scratch their balls

conductive distraction and de-escalation devices

The newspeak is strong with this one.

On the inside right? To stop them committing crimes against humanity?

When do we non-americans intervene in the american slide into fascism? They've stopped being our allies and are now just presenting as the terrorist nation it always was to the global south.

We need to acknowledge that they're a terrorist nation and sanction accordingly.

Alright, here's my haphazard attempt to figure these things out.

Electricity flows through a path of least resistance, in this case: finger to finger, but through your body nonetheless. That being said, this is not a full-body shock, it only flows through the point in which skin is in contact with the glove at both points. I'll mention the importance of this later.

Now, the parameters of the electricity are where the rubber meets the road, it can be a strong momentary impulse, or a weaker sustained current. A strong, sustained current is likely too risky for ICE agents, because you know damn well they're gonna shock themselves eventually, and complain to their superiors. That being said, the strong impulse current would likely fall under the same umbrella. This leaves us with a weaker, sustained current as the theorized output.

Under those parameters, the goal is seemingly the following: Grasping an individual on exposed skin, the immediate area around the hand will be subject to a sustained low-power electricity. This will not incapacitate, yet it will contribute to overstimulation and moving the limb will be inhibited. In my interpretation, it seems likely the idea is to grab an exposed arm to make for an easier time in bringing someone to the ground. May not be the Galvaknuckles, but I'd sure panic if my arm started throbbing when someone grasped it.

My money says this thing contacts someone's face within the first week of deployment.

Well that's terrifying

did no one watch spiderman? do we really need the shocker irl?

Oh, so the cruelty wasn’t enough already?

Somehow be wet so when they grab you it also shocks them or make them wet with a water balloon or something?

this will kill people with pacemakers

What the over/under on the first electrocution from jerking off?
