I’ve decided this one will be the end of the tear gas touring for a while - a beautiful invitation to speak in the archive where it all began...

Electric shock shields are prone to abuse and have no law enforcement purpose that cannot be achieved through safer means. The use of electric shock shields by law enforcement officials should be prohibited, and all existing weapons stocks removed and verifiably destroyed [3/3]

[Omega Research Foundation @Omega_RF]

The weapons photographed are visually very similar to shields manufactured by the Chinese company Shenzhen Senxunda Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. [2/3]

In response to protests in #Tennessee, US #police appear to be deploying #electricshock shields. These weapons deliver an electric shock when pressed against skin or clothing. The shocks from these weapons do not cause neuromuscular incapacitation but can cause intense pain [1/3]
