The tool, called the BolaWrap 100, fires a Kevlar cord that ensnares an individual’s body to restrict mobility, giving officers seconds to swarm the person without using more drastic measures such as a Taser or gun.

It’ll be labeled ‘racist’ soon enough, by someone, somehow.
and it will make suspects tell the truth
And it is effective too.
The fugitive looks especially ridiculous when he is all wrapped up. That is a feature, not a bug.
