I dont know how it is in other provinces or states, but where I live, the cops are right out of control. The other night, a woman cop was called to a disturbance and the fellow she went to find out about, ended up collapsing and they had to do cpr on him. next thing you know, he’s on life support with no brain activity and then dead two days later. When the cop was interviewed, when the supervisors gave their statement at the beginning (when he was still alive), they said that she didnt use any form of weapon on him at all – no pepperspray, no taser, no night stick, nothing. When he was dead, and a corner’s inquest was announced by the Crown, the cops suddenly had a new statement for the media and public – she used her nightstick on him below the upper legs and pepperspray. right. and he ended up dead from his legs being beaten. And originally he received no form of weapon on him, remember?
Right now there are all sorts of stories such as this mostly to do with over use or misuse of tasers. I understand the need of police to protect themselves – I was almost a cop myself when I graduated highschool – but it seems to be out of control over here… I’m wondnering what its like in your neck of the woods.
