Omaha police agreed this week to stop carrying gloves that can deliver electric shocks to students in the halls of Nebraska’s largest public school district.
The decision affecting most Omaha middle and high schools came after The Associated Press first revealed Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s plan to give officers the gloves, which are known as G.L.O.V.E.s or Generated Low Output Voltage Emitters. The devices have also been used in recent years by some jails.
Omaha Superintendent Matthew Ray requested that police working in the schools, known as school resource officers, stop using the gloves. Omaha Police agreed.
I know, not on topic really, but lets not pretend that racism is an American trait and not a human one.
It’s not human trait at all. No child is born racist, they’re taught that.
Which you’re implying that it’s a natutal human trait and therefore somehow acceptable on some level.
Lol, fuck off with that projection and putting words in my mouth. It’s like you haven’t traveled at all and experienced racism in the Far East, in Europe, in Africa, etc. What a bullshit take. Don’t put fucking words in my mouth and think that you made a good point.
Cool story edge lord.

It is not more pervasive here, it’s just the hypocrisy is hard to take. Go to most parts of the world and you’ll see racism still alive and kicking. It’s just the US we have constantly patted ourselves on our backs for being the “melting pot” of the world, or the “salad bowl” as we were later described. Yet reality and history show that was, and is, just hypocritical bullshit.
Work hard and get ahead they said. Yea, they actually said that.
