I think the problem here in the US goes far beyond handcuffs. See this recent spreadsheet[0] listing incidents of police brutality in the US during the George Floyd protests.

- jelliclesfarm 6y agoI am not going to argue that...but I am questioning the notion that we still need to restrain suspects in something archaic and badly designed handcuffs. What are going to be the non lethal means of questioning, restraining and holding etc..(I don’t know the exact terms for what they do now..). If there is no need for an arresting officer or a police officer to even approach a suspect, then we are eliminating the chances of something bad happening right at the beginning. Perhaps a lot of procedural accidents can be avoided. This is not to say that racism would be eliminated or reduced. But if it does exist As a reason for arrest, it doesn’t have to be lethal and take a life.
