Just what law enforcement needs: another headache. Yet Thor Shield promises to be a thunderbolt from heaven for those resisting arrest.
The product is a polyester fabric that bonds a conducted material and sends the electricity coming from a stun gun back where it came from. It is now available for sale only to military and law enforcement agencies, but one wonders how long before it is being worn by those on the streets of America...What is intended to be used to protect the police might one day soon be used against them.
It's all about keeping the state safe for police, isn't it,
Dave White? What legitimate need could an average citizen possibly have for this?
The manufacturer has already limited its use to law enforcement. How long before legislators do?
ReplyDeleteWe really do need to answer the question, "Why must we be helpless in the face of our servants?"
There are no acceptable answers.
Officer safety is the least acceptable. It is predicated on a lie and it is fundamentally unAmerican as it elevated one segment of society over another based on station.
Let's see now, the cop will have his radio, his video, his sidearm, his riot gun, sometimes his fully automatic rifle, his baton,his handcuffs, his friends in the department, his mace, and his stun gun, and his body armor. None of which he will tolerate the other citzens having and yet, he wants still more for his 'safety'.
We must be some scary bastards out here.
I would be willing to bet that it will be available on the black market; those who have reason to expect a tazing (from police or private citizens) will take precautions.

ReplyDeleteYup! Something to remember to those who Usurp their authority. Treat others how you would want to be treated.
Never bring a taser to a GUN fight...
ReplyDelete"What is intended to be used to protect the police might one day soon be used against them."
ReplyDeleteThat sentence is not quite correct: nothing would be "used against them"; they would just be getting a taste (self delivered) of what they thought they were going to give to someone else. I call that poetic justice.
