$2500 per pair btw TWO-THOUSAND DOLLARS like guns, tasers, pepper-spray I am sure they will only be used as last resort without initiating or escalating against unarmed people not resisting ha no opposite of that, they don't leave a mark and have no record they were used

I'm curious what would happen to someone wearing these gloves if exposed to water during activation. Disclaimer: I'm of course only concerned about the safety of our brave and righteous ICE officers.

Can I buy these for myself? Asking for a friend.
