    This video almost made me physically sick.

    This poor man who does not speak english, who has been waiting 10 hours, who is OBVIOUSLY without any weapon!!!

    They tase him not only once...but twice!!!

    I don't know what to say...or perhaps yes...

    I can only repeat that this man died for nothing...absolutely nothing:-(

    So at what point can we honestly admit to ourselves that we live in a fascist state?

    Fascist state or not, all I have to say...

    This does not make me too proud of being Canadian right now...

    Help! I'm a cop and can't stop tazing people!

    Once stuns, twice kills, thrice disintegrates 'em. Or is that just for taze-nktels...I mean zat'nk'tels?

    Oooo, looky what new toy Santa gave the cops this year!

    I don't think the human race is any more ready for tazers than it was for guns when they came out.

    I should have read the link, I thought it happened here in the states.

    Wouldn't it be cool to have tazer-proof clothing, armor if you will? You'd have to weave cloth with wire sort of like a faraday cage, and then have a good way of grounding it...you think?

    OMG!!!!!!!

    Why was he in a secure area for ten hours?????

    I do not understand anymore, how people with weapons are not trained properly on how to de-escalate a situation.

    No humanity, no understanding, no compassion. No freaking common sense.

    I am shocked at what I just saw. Honestly. Shaking my head in disbelief.

    Its very scarey to think of travelling, not from terrorists.... but from morons that don't know what is a real threat.

    edited to add: On the news yesterday, and sorry I don't know where it is, but kids have the bullitproof material on their backpacks. So when they are wearing them they are protected!!!

    where are the feel-good uber liberals when you need them?

    Oh! I forget, they run Canada. Seriously though, there is a common misconception that tasers are non-lethal weapons. They are non-lethal only in low doses and always potentially lethal. Anything which can interfere with the function of the boy's muscles can also stop a heartbeat or even breathing. One would hope that anybody with a little bit of brain matter could figure that one out.

    Isn't that like a prolonged sneeze where your heart stops for that time? Ouch just for the heart!
