I was pointing out how its less practical than the normal tazers which they still don't use. The idea of it sounds dangerous to the user too.

The taser gun is the ultimate form. But I agree with your sentiment about less shooting the better.

I guess the point I want to drive home is this taser gloves thing likely costs 300 thousand dollars for a single glove and is funded by tax payer dollars, and its going to be just a toy they bring out to torture people for fun, and otherwise foregotten. They're still going to pull their guns out first and foremost, and when its slow they'll abuse their drones and gloves for fun.

Ideally we wouldn't give them anymore money, my critisim was more a joke but I was trying to point out how the system is so backwards I can imagine a scenario where this was proposed instead of making the ice agents sit through one more paid class with at least the bare minimum a guide on how not to shoot people immediately.
