It happened again. Today a 36-year-old British Columbia man has died in hospital more than four days after being subdued by RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) officers with a Taser and nearly every other available weapon except firearms.

How is that ok to use on people is beyond me. Unless its 100% non lethal then they should not use it whatsoever.

In the past week alone there has been two people murdered by the Canadian police forces using tazer guns. The interesting thing is that the police departments discussed it and decided they will not review the use of tazers.
