It’s not the thing (tasers), it’s the behavior.
It’s not specific to Canada either. Unprofessionalism in police ranks seems to be on the rise. We also have seen police wrongly shooting pet dogs. Not once, not twice, but multiple times across the country. We have also seen numerous SWAT team Rambos descending upon the wrong houses and turning innocent lives upside down and too often taking innocent lives.
What on earth is going on? Do we have to permit them only one bullet on the condition that they keep it buttoned up in their breast pocket?
I do hope these mounties are disciplined in an unequivocal manner. And I also hope that some very uncomfortable attitude adjustment is applied to their ‘superiors’. Their job is to protect the public – not to assault it.
