- Tasered At Airport
  Posted by Orato
  On October 13, 2007, Robert Dziekanski died at Vancouver International Airport after being "tasered" by the RCMP. It has been reported that he (gasp) "threw things". Is anyone as bothered as I am by the ambiguous terminology being used to justify sending 50,000 volts through this man's body?

You’d tghink pepper spray would be enough. Now they can use a deadly weapon and just exclaim “Oops!” when it turns out their non-deadly weapon turns out to be deadly.

It seems as these sorts of incidents are becoming more and more frequent. It’s baffling as to why the police continue to use these weapons when they’re proved to be deadly.

Police functioned without tasers for a long time … now it’s just a new toy – and a deadly one.

Tasers are proving to be deadly. THAT’S the issue.

It doesn't really matter what country it is; cops behaving badly is a bit of a worldwide plague. Though, t's not the first black mark on the RCMP record. And not even the only one in a while...
