Wow. Proponents of the ICE taser gloves are openly saying that one reason they love the gloves is that they doesn’t leave any marks or proof that they were used, making it harder for people to sue when they’re shocked excessively.

Mother Jones

"In today's society, you know, everybody's filming everything, everybody has a cell phone," Glueck said. If an officer punches someone on camera, that can go viral in an instant; even a standard taser leaves puncture wounds. But "the glove is low optic, and it looks better on camera, and it looks better to those witnesses. With a glove, there are no burn marks or scars."

But local police across the country are still eagerly buying the gloves—in large part so that they can harm people and avoid being sued for it. It's been successful "from the patrolmen to the jailers," Lumpkin County Sheriff Stacy Jarrard said in a Compliant Technologies promotional video. "It's been a great tool as far as mitigating liability," according to Nelson County Jailer Justin Hall.
Bob Couey of the Floyd County Sheriff's Department sung the GLOVE's praises, too: "I highly recommend these gloves to anybody that's looking for a utility they can use that is conducive to not leading to lawsuits."

Stole this from the comments because this shit shouldn't be behind a paywall.

Crucially, the GLOVE has limitations, chief among them that for the device to work effectively and deliver its restraining pain shock, it must come into contact with the subject's bare skin. According to Compliant Technologies, the gloves won't work through dry clothing or thick hair. The gloves will work, however, if the subject is wearing thin, wet clothing, such as soaked T-shirts or blouses. The GLOVE also does not like being dunked in water and will likely be rendered inoperable if this happens.

They stole ALL the Flock cameras in Winona.

WINONA MINNESOTA
POLICE
1651
Press Release
Winona Police Department
8/4/26
On 8/1/26, the Winona Police Department discovered that all eight of our city's Flock cameras were missing. That evening, an officer noted that there'd been no recent activity on the cameras. Officers subsequently checked the various locations where the Flock cameras were placed and found that the poles were cut down near the base. Officers located the poles nearby in the weeds, but the cameras had been removed. As of 8/4/26, the cameras have not been located.
The stolen cameras were stationed in the following areas:
Two near Hwy 61/Bundy Blvd
Two near Hwy 61/Hwy 14
Two near Hwy 14/Knopp Valley Dr
Two near Hwy 43/Homer Rd
The timeframe of the thefts appears to be between July 29th and August 1st.
The cost to replace each camera and pole is approximately $3,000.
The investigation remains active and ongoing.
Anyone with information related to the thefts can contact the Winona Police Department at 507-457-6302 or by calling Winona Area Crimestoppers at 507-457-6530. You can also submit a tip online through https://winonaare acrimestoppers.com.

The study is anchored in an assessment of Secure Communities, a fed & local PD data sharing program piloted by Bush II & dramatically expanded by Obama. The nightmare we’re living today is the product of a false & broken approach to immigration that prioritizes destructive public safety theater.

The best story ICE could make up, after 12 hours, is that ICE agents shot someone in the head because they believed the person they shot, who was not accused of any crime, was a different person also not accused of any crime, and so "public safety" required killing them on the spot.
