i wonder if they backpedaled in order to keep their officers from facing charges.

to continue using tasers after making these statements would be nuts. might as well call canada a communist country.

Well, a taser is still safer then a gun. Even if it does have a chance of killing a highly agitated person, it is less likely to kill someone then a gun.

The thing they have to start understanding is that you can`t just whip the taser out whenever things are going rough for you. But it is still the best last result. Way way way better then pulling out your side shooter and actually trying to kill someone.

Sir spanks-a-lot: Sorry...but it`s completely ridiculous to accuse a country of being communist because they use tasers. Yeah, tasers *can* kill and officers certainly need to be more discreet in their decisions to use a taser, but does that mean they should NEVER be used? I mean, fer fuksakes, you bleeding hearts won`t let us shoot them, or taze them, or even knock them over the head with a billy club. How are they supposed to subdue dangerous suspects?

Now, I`m not saying this guy was dangerous. To me, it seems a pretty clear case that they didn`t need to tazer the guy. But, in general, tasers are a lot better than just shooting people. I`ll let the courts decide if this was a result of training practices ("the system") or if the individual officer went beyond protocol...I don`t know enough about the case to say either way.

A guy where I live was killed by a taser a few years ago. He was hyped up on a nearly lethal dose of cocaine and was still brandishing a weapon after an armed robbery. I`ll tell you what, no loss to society on that one!!!

@ Sir spanks-a-lot

a: a theory advocating elimination of private property
b: a system in which goods are owned in common and are available to all as needed.

I don`t see anything to do with utilizing something after it is deemed deadly.

You sir, are an idiot.

At least one country woke the fuck up about it.

I love my country. This should keep officers from using it after being agitated by a small problem.

To me it`s quite simple: do not resist arrest, do not insult or attack cops and -if you wish- stick to your right to remain silent and your chances to get beaten up, tasered or shot are minimised!

I`ll only be satisfied if I see on the news "Cop dies for being tasered by accident"

Trust me, afterwards the pigs won`t hesitate to ban that shit.

Funny how the only specific thing he said was "I do not believe Tasers Kill" yet the headline and theme is "Tasers Kill".

If somebody came at me, I`d hit them with a taser. Why should I care about that guy that is fighting me?

Fukn liberal whiny pussies always wanting to give ARMED AND DANGEROUS criminals a chance to have rights.

BOTTOM LINE
If you attack, murder, or threaten, your rights are forfeit. Plain and simple. WTF you expect us to start doing without tasers?? Play rodeo and wrangle them??? FFS people c`mon. This is nothing more than the pussification of man (ty George Carlin).

They undercut their suppler? Oh Nos! Maybe receiving a discount on something no longer matters once you`ve determined their product kills people.

the case they refer to:
http://spikedhumor.com/articles/133130/RCMP-Taser-Polish-Immigrant-To-
Death.html

tasers should not be issued without thorough training and clear rules when to use them... those things are weapons after all (lethal or not)
