"In the former, participants obediently administered what they believed to be increasingly strong electric shocks to unseen persons in spite of the (faked) screams of agony that they heard. In the latter, student participants were divided into prisoners and guards; the guards became so sadistic and dangerous toward the prisoners that the experiment had to be discontinued. CEDs can readily be used as instruments of torture; they are designed to control through incapacitation, but also through inflicting pain."
"Mr. Trump the sign I carried last Saturday was made by my own hands, with cardboard from packages I have received, and the back sides of paper that I reuse, and with my marker pens. I did not get paid one red cent for either those materials or for my time standing on a corner with my sign saying: DUE PROCESS IS A HUMAN RIGHT, and LAW RULES US, NOT THE WHIM OF A DICTATOR."
Conducted Energy Devices (CEDs) should not be used in prisons because the Milgram and Stanford prison experiments demonstrate how ordinary people can inflict severe harm under perceived authority. Participants in Milgram administered perceived electric shocks despite screams; Stanford guards became sadistic, prompting early termination. CEDs can be instruments of torture, designed to incapacitate and inflict pain. Citizens are urged to contact the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors to oppose CED deployment. A handmade protest sign read "DUE PROCESS IS A HUMAN RIGHT, and LAW RULES US, NOT THE WHIM OF A DICTATOR," and an apology from the president is demanded for false accusations against protesters.
