      "a way of subduing people in mental health crisis" because how else could we _possibly_ imagine public servants interacting with people in mental health crises, OTHER than violently "subduing" them, am I right?https://twitter.com/EllaFassler/status/1399405424152133637 …

      uh so police departments are buying technology called 'BolaWrap' to LASSO people. It's marketed as a way of subduing people in mental health crisis. The CEO was inspired by argentian cowboys who safely captured animals Seattle police just approved a pilot program. pic.twitter.com/gQfRUbIBRz

      Our societal imagination of what a "mental health crisis" looks like, and who it puts in danger, is so radically skewed by media portrayals and ableist preconceptions that it bears virtually no resemblance to reality, and we base policy choices on these fictions.

      Personally, I think policy choices should be based on facts, but then I AM a bleeding heart pinko liberal commie snowflake

      Anyway even if we suppose those bola guns will be used "correctly" and "by the book" 100% of the time, which they absolutely won't, it appears they bind the target's legs around the knee, which is likely to make people fall down and hit their heads.

          Sounds like a great way to kill someone "accidentally"

          Of course actually what will happen is a lot of cops just asphyxiating people by shooting them in the next with these things, and also a lot of cops shooting people with guns and then claiming they thought it was their bola gun, like they do with tasers.

          I frequently think about when, on a private forum, I said it was implausible that Oscar Grant's death was an accident, and what really happened was a racist cop saw a chance to get away with murder, and someone I knew said "that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard".
