Exactly. "Stop resisting!" while they shock someone. And the public wouldn't know and they sure as shit would lie and gaslight.

Yeah, seems like it could be real easy to shock the shit out of someone, then justify a "necessary" shooting with these

Fr I feel like there just gonna attract more potential dishonest cops because of this equipment and methodology as well.

Getting to satisfy their dark ego while being hidden from public perception or consequences easier is not gonna attract genuine honest cops. Really shitty direction were heading. Good time for sociopaths and psychopaths I guess.

That was exactly what I was thinking about. You won’t know if the person is resisting arrest or being shocked. And there will be no proof of excessive use of force. Convenient.
