Accountability? Don't hold your breath.

These crooked freemasons are almost always allowed to get off Scot free Idea

Self-deluded socio-paths.

The British coppers are getting into it too:

Police accused of firing Taser into head of innocent man



Quote:
Police fired a 50,000-volt Taser into the head of a 45-year-old company director who later proved to be unarmed and innocent. Daniel Sylvester, the owner of an east London security firm employing 65 staff to guard council offices, pubs and nightclubs, was driving home on October 20 when he was stopped by armed police because of "firearms related intelligence".

According to Sylvester, he got out of his car and was surrounded by officers, at least two of whom were carrying automatic weapons. Without warning, one officer fired a Taser into the back of his head which made him drop to his knees, he said. A second shock caused him to fall on his face, breaking a front tooth. A further six shocks made him wet himself and left him lying in the road in pain while the officers and sniffer dogs searched the car and found nothing.


Quote:
"Armed police jumped out and opened my car door," he said. "I said OK, I'm coming. I asked what was going on and as soon as I stepped out of the car I felt something touch me on the back of the head and then I was on my knees. Then it happened again and I was on my face and I felt somebody pressing my head down with their foot. By the fifth time I realised officers were pinning my arms together. It was like they were trying to break my arms and I was in pain, screaming out.

"I was shocked eight times altogether and I had urinated on the floor. It was like being tortured. It went on and on and I felt they were going to kill me."


Looks like he was tasered for 'driving while black'....

Quote:
Tasers have been used 47 times in London this year, with black people accounting for almost two-thirds of those stunned.

�Don�t tase me, bro!� named year�s top quote
Beauty queen�s unique �U.S. Americans and such as� answer a runner-up

REUTERS updated 1:56 p.m. ET Dec. 19, 2007

LOS ANGELES - "Don't tase me, bro," a phrase that swept the nation after
a U.S. college student used it seeking to stop campus police from
throwing him out of a speech by Sen. John Kerry, was named Wednesday
as the most memorable quote of 2007.

Fred R. Shapiro, the editor of the Yale Book of Quotations, said the plea
made by University of Florida student Andrew Meyer on Sep. 17,
accompanied by Meyer's screams as he was tased, beat out the racial
slur that cost shock jock Don Imus his job and the Iranian president's
declaration that his country does not have homosexuals.

I know a close friend of the family, in Kamloops.
He was held for 10 hours. He was not helped in anyway. He was not given any food or water in that time.
Just some insight...
