Assault weapon...
Torture device...
Ban these fucking things already. And fire 75% of every police force across the nation while you're at it. We don't need any of this shit.

haha no offense Danno but this is like the Canadian version of police misconduct! pretty mild haha.
She was restrained...but not tased.
Today in DC Ted Cruz said, in front of Trayvon Martin's mother, that Stand Your Ground laws are EXCELLENT news for black people.
This country has a problem with the intersection of violence and stupidity.
Anecdotally, I would say this is most of the world's view of the US. Guns are just too easy to acquire in the US. It's sad and scary.
Might as well start tarring and feathering the dude while they're at it.
Wouldn't it just take like two dudes to pounce on the guy, and have another handcuff him?
From experience working in a correctional facility, I can say that if the public knew/saw what we see on a daily basis their perceptions might be a whole lot different. This video of the DA is a prime example of the sloppery we put up with and the balance of trying to maintain their dignity but at the same time deal with this foolery. I can say that pepper spray is used far more frequently than tasers, yet the taser action gets way more press/attention.
This is just, what appears to be, a lazy officer right here. If you can't out run a woman in cuffs... C'mon. That's a whole 'nother can of worms.
Guns have function and value. Tasers do not.
I wouldn't wish either on anyone, but wouldn't you rather be tasered than shot dead? Surely the function is to quell the protagonist without killing them (regardless of whether the Officer is vindicated or not - whole 'nother argument).
That's what tackling is for. Dudes are linebacker size and pulling out mini electric chairs. Fuck that.
And keep your gun holstered until at least a knife or a gun is produced by the perp.
These aren't new guidelines.
Really? Why not elaborate on that?

The taser didn't cause this girls injuries, smacking her head on the concrete did.
If she had been tackled instead and her head smashed into the concrete with the same result wouldn't we be saying she shouldn't have been tackled?
I mentioned tackling as an alternative to not getting shot. Different scenario.
But yeah, this girl should have been chased down and grabbed. Or let go just then and grabbed down the street once back-up was called in. She posed no threat and thus shouldn't have been subjected to the taser.
Also...yes, the taser did cause her injuries by knocking her to the ground.
He got a parking ticket! It was thrown out of court!
Ok, the point is yours. Nothing in Canada competes with this crazy injustice: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2013/08/12/130812fa_fact_stillman
Put either one in the hands of a violent moron and that value is negative.
