Ghandi said you can judge a society by how it treats animals.
And to that we can add "and it's schoolchildren."

Setting aside the morality of these vs other force options, these run at $1650/pair if I’m reading it correctly - $66k for 40. Anyone else find it like an insane amount of money for a device that’s so simple?

Feel free to recreate and calibrate and guarantee safe shock levels to offer it cheaper if that fits your morals

Why is there a requirement to guarantee it safe? I don't believe that requirement exists for tasers, for example, which are just considered less lethal. Same for rubber bullets.

Just add “tactical” to any product you make and you can charge 40% extra.

Are these worse than Tasers? I would think a Taser's form factor makes it far more likely to be used.

Not really, because the whole idea is to have it used in discrete manner, a taser will be obvious and mostly recorded and shared online, plus once used there’s some time needed to reuse it again (the taser gun), those on the other hand, are discrete and can be used on multiple people quickly. The forced military draft will be “fun” to watch in the US!
