The video I saw on CNN showed him holding a chair above his head and then throw it at a woman who was trying to help.


From what i understand he was trying to get OUT of the glass cage he'd been held in for 10 hours.

Then he goes & tries the side door. It was OPEN & he managed to walk right through, trying to get help Crying or Very sad

They were needlessly quick to taser him. He could have been restrained pretty easilly by the several officers on the scene.

But he was an idiot for creating the scenario: aggressively threatening, throwing the chair and smashing the computer etc. Even if you have been waiting 10 hours...you don't go berserk like that.

Ultimately..tasering is way too dangerous to be liberally used as it is now. Its a killer. Reduce the voltage or something.

Igotthisguitar,

You should enjoy reading this Canadian police forum! Very Happy
Many of the cops on here don't think too much of the guy who took the video.

Look, bottom line here is that the RCMP need to be held accountable.

Too often they're allowed to get away "SCOT" free for their excessive force, brutality & generally corrupt ways.

While i can testify to certain CLASS elements within their ranks, neanderthal rookie thugs need to be properly disciplined.

As they should clearly know better, veteran sadists are even more of a human disgrace.
