Canadian police taser a man to death

category international | crime and justice | other press author Friday November 16, 2007 10:14author by Aragon Report this post to the editors

These vicious weapons should be banned

International outcry should meet the latest example of polic brutality involving tasers.

The video is difficult to watch:

Tasers are not about defending the peace they are about intimidating ordinary people. A selection of articles at the google link below about how these vile weapons are being used on the mentally ill, the elderrly and on unarmed people. In one case police who were on a wellness check broke into an 82 year old womans home. Thinking she was being attacked, she picked up a hammer and although she had done nothing to anyone at any time, she was tasered and ended up in hospital for five days with fluid on the brain.
