This literally is not satire. It's just sarcasm. Because the core indefensible nonsense is actually fucking real, dry criticism is not some biting commentary on similar limp nitpicking of choke-holds and spy cameras. It's reduced to reflexive 'well how could that go wrong?' pablum, on par with 'what where they thinking?'

I thought this was a rare hit from OP. No: this is how I found out ICE is genuinely talking about electric shock gloves. Why this article, and not the article about Elon Musk getting shanked?
