“Crisis Intervention” in the name of Public Safety is Targeting Those Labeled “Mentally Ill” and “Substance Use Disorder” with “Innovative” Torture-Tech Both Medieval and Privacy-Intrusive: Witness the “Bola Wrap”

By Ramola D

Taking us back to Pre-Renaissance times, Police across the USA have resorted to using supposedly “Innovative” Tech–which comes across (to any Gentle Reader) quite insistently as Torture Tech–to capture, arrest, and subjugate hundreds of thousands of people, young and old, poor and middle-class, light-skinned and dark, male and female either to be freshly labeled Mentally Ill and Substance Abusive or working off their last Label to further “get them treatment” f/or a more sticky Label.Not merely are we stepping back in Time to Techno Catherine wheels, Nano iron spikes, RF HPM burning at the stake, Spinal Heating racks, Terahertz & RNM thumbscrews and more, we’re being treated to Inversions in Language attempting spy-cover: Medieval becomes Innovative, Deathly becomes Emerging. And Civil becomes–as it may have always been–Barbaric. (Witness the British Raj.) [And the Public Relations blather.]

Did you ever think the day would come when you would live to see the Asylum at the Spine and the Jailcell at the Buttocks? Perhaps we should say Gluteus Maximus! and Pass the cucumber sandwiches please!
