A previously unreleased Army study examined the effectiveness of shock gloves. These gloves are being considered for use by immigration agents to control detainees and protesters. The study found that participants in a military exercise felt intense pain when the gloves were used on them. This pain was so severe that it immediately stopped fighting and instilled fear of additional exposures.

The shock gloves worked powerfully, achieving their intended effect. Further details about the study and its findings are available. The potential use of these gloves by immigration agents has been noted, but additional information about their deployment is not provided here.
