They have been used twice since officers received training on them at the beginning of the 2025-2026 school year, and are only in use at middle and high schools.

In one case at a high school, the officer used a glove on a student for “noncompliance.”

In short, the purpose is to torture kids

    The problem is that they’re designed to leave no mark, so it’s really hard to prove in court that they were used. Perfect torture device.

      Uhhggg, didn’t know that. Been too long to get a lawyer to force the hospital to save video footage? In this day and age, I’d find it hard to believe they didn’t have cameras everywhere.

      That’s weird, every time law enforcement uses a device like this, they have a good reason and no need to hide it. Right? RIGHT‽
