Shaking hands with this glove could be a shocking experience! Looks like the stun guns we see today had some interesting beginnings.
"MORE punch than can be found in a box-glove is contained in a new electric glove invented by Cirilo Diaz of Cuba for use by police while handling rough characters or in quelling riots. Persons contacted by an officer wearing the glove receive a 1,500-volt shock, sufficient to remove all traces of fight. A half-pound battery worn on the belt supplies the power, all wiring being concealed beneath the coat."

Did someone say taser boxing?

Looks like the police were trying to help protect themselves then as they still do today with Tasers.

Call me cynical, but the picture looks a bit fishy. It looks like it came from a newspaper: can we get a citation?
A quick Google for Cirilo Diaz turns up nothing but comments on this picture, which I find a bit suspicious.

lol I made one of those as a sophmore in High School out of some speaker wire, paper clips, and
a flash unit out of a disposable camera. 300 volt handshake hurt like a bi@tch

Is Sean Penn using this to pick up little girls again?

If you think that’s cool you should see some of the cool modern stun guns like the Knuckle Blaster stun knuckles.
