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."

Amy Klobuchar is frustratingly centrist but I hope people will join me in November in voting against Lisa Demuth. I want her loss to be historic. We'll all know why.

I'm running for U.S. Senate to: Get Big Money out of our politics. End prior authorization. Pass Medicare for All. Rip ICE apart. Raise the wage. Deliver universal childcare. Secure the right to repair. Block the bombs. Save Social Security. Deliver for the people of Minnesota.

A vote for Angie Craig is incompatible with being against ICE and what happened here in Minnesota. Voting for the Laken Riley Act & voting to thank ICE shows Angie is unwilling to fight against fascism. Polls are open tomorrow from 7 AM to 8 PM. Find your polling place here: pollfinder.sos.mn.gov

Strib quotes Steve Brandt, president of the Board of Estimate and Taxation, "the mayor plans to more accurately budget police overtime. Last year was the seventh straight year of record overtime costs; the last time the city stayed within its overtime budget was 2018." Frey was elected in 2018 😑

Mayor Frey says the city has been "drastically undercounting the dollar figure necessary in the budget to complete those [police] overtime hours... for as long as I can remember." What he means is "the whole time I've been mayor."

Hong's rise in the Wisconsin Democratic primary has exposed a sharp divide, with some voters saying they would cross party lines in November rather than support a DSA-aligned candidate.

Insane new research. Scientists gave asthma patients free electric stoves to replace their gas stoves, then checked to see if symptoms improved. Not only did symptoms improve, ditching gas was *better than medicine.* Details in today's newsletter: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/electric-s...

A functioning Congress could solve all of this. The 4A is just a lower bound on your rights. Congress is absolutely free to set more restrictive limits on law enforcement’s search options. We have such weak rights bc Congress lets us.

most murders are committed by someone the victim knows - a partner, neighbor etc. but in cases where there is no relationship between murderer & victim? the killer is a cop about a third of the time. if you are killed by a stranger, there is a 1 in 3 chance that stranger is a cop.

turns out the GOP having 16 years of experience ruthlessly gerrymandering while the dems have spent the last decade+ actively making it harder for themselves to engage in partisan gerrymandering has put dems in a bad position now that they've finally woken up to something that was obvious in 2011
