oops I wonder if a mod could change the category from business to law and order.... anyway, I doubt the cops just tased the crap outta these guys just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time...

[GreenTiger]

Police during a police drug raid are in great danger and their use of non-lethal force when resistance is encountered is not unreasonable. The question really is what were these guys doing there in the first place?
I suspect there is something more to it than just being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Awesome.

24 times? Come on, the battery would have run out. Sounds like a right load of old crap.

[llama66]

how many times can a taser be used before running out of charge? (obviously not 24 uses..)

[EyeBrock]

Continuous use. I’m not sure but most cops in Canada are trained with “2 shots don’t work, select different use of force option": I really can’t see somebody tasering a person 24 times. Really, what is the point?

Lots of people don't trust the police and this is an example why not. Internal review will lack evidence and find nothing wrong.

I was in an aggitated state from stress one time and called a passer-byer cop "incompetent". That's all I did. I woke up to a restraining order "dangerous to society" six days later in the hospital. Internal review couldn't make out they didn't have a cause to arrest me. Scared my wife pretty good.

When York Region got their tasers about 3 years ago, every cop in Newmarket tasered a guy that day, just to try them out. Some of 'em likely deserved it, but still...

"Restraining order"? That's a Family Law Act thingy. Nowt to do with cops mate. Domestic issues?

Yes. It came from the lips of a man who's word I would never question; a man I'd trust with my life.

[EyeBrock]

Er, proof, not urban legend.

I was told I was "dangerous to society" and not allowed to leave the hospital per the police. I went in July 1, 1991 and woke up July 6. I was in an aggitated state but didn't do anything violent. Wife has nothing to do with it.

Still waiting for the skinny on all these York citizens zapped by power hungry cops. That would have been a big story on the news.

Lemmy, you are so full of it.
