uwish uwish:
all I know from the video I saw is this:
the RCMP were going to tase this guy before getting into the room with him. One cop ask the other 'are we going to use the taser?' the other cops response yes.
That was BEFORE they were even in the room with the guy and make contact
You know that tasers aren't standard issue, right? In Toronto, I haven't seen one Constable with a taser strapped to their side; just the higher ranks. So, if they're going to bring along a taser TO A CALL OF A VIOLENT MAN GOING APESHIT IN A TERMINAL, they'd better decide who's going to use it.

next on the video was nothing more than cops being lazy. They chose to deploy this device even after he put up his hands. They were in the room with him for less than 10 seconds when he was tased.
I see a man throw his arms up in an aggressive "Don't fucking come near me" gesture. If you see a man surrendering, you're wrong. A violent man who pulls away from the police deserves the taser.

whether or not the taser was 'to blame' for his death at the very least, it should have been assault with a weapon causing death charge.
Well, if you're inventing charges that don't exist in the Criminal Code, sure! Why not heap on Electrical Mayhem? Because what you posted is actually called 2nd Degree Murder. Fuck me, are you representative of the public? I hope not.

to me and BY USE OF RCMP FORCE guidelines the taser should NOT have been used.
Hey chump, here's the use of force wheel I found on the RCMP website!

They can use the taser you dipshit! Thanks for embarassing yourself!
