Its worse.

Can you tell the difference from across the street between shock gloves and regular gloves? Its so they can use excessive force that doesnt look like it.

    Good point, though I would expect the effects of these gloves on the victim to be visible from across the street. That’s assuming they are like tasers. People react pretty visibly.

    "The gloves werent on, the perpetrator was faking"

    "The gloves malfunctioned"

    ZAP "STOP RESISTING!" ZAP "I SAID STOP RESISTING!" ZAP "STOP STRUGGING!"

    "Those were regular gloves, not the shock gloves."
