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.

    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.
