"Man Dies After Being Tasered"

Two weeks ago I shared a video which shows some unethical use of tasers. Our current federal government has made it clear that they are fully supportive of police using tasers in neccessary situations. I challenge the Conseravtives to define 'necessary situations.'

Sunday, October 14th marked the last day of life for a 40 year old man at Vancouver International Airport. He was tasered by Vancouver RCMP, and later died. An article published by the ever-so-objective Vancouver Sun questions RCMP methods in Canada's latest taser death. Apparently, the man's behaviour got out of hand as he was "throwing chairs" and pounding on computer desks. He would not listen to the authories on the scene. As a result, he was tasered with 50,000 volts of electricity, and later died in a Vancouver hospital.

FIVE QUESTIONS TO THINK ABOUT:

1. Was this man out of control?
Yes, most likely.

2. Was he armed?
No, not according to press or authorities.

3. Should he have been physically subdued? Yes, for the safety of others.

4. Should he have been tasered?
No, it was a fatal result.

5. Where is the concern from our governments (public safety divsion)?
No idea...
