RCMP policy says Tasers can kill, restricts use

February 13, 2009
OTTAWA – RCMP policy changes acknowledge that Taser stun guns can kill – especially “acutely agitated” suspects – and will now restrict their use to cases involving threats to officers or public safety.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
RCMP Commissioner William Elliott says the new rules clearly set out that Mounties can’t zap suspects for simple resistance or refusing to co-operate.
Tasers “hurt like hell,” he said Thursday of his own reaction to a trial firing. And their use must be justified as a necessary and reasonable use of force, he told MPs on the Commons public safety committee.
“The RCMP’s revised (Taser) policy underscores that there are risks associated with the deployment of the device and emphasizes that those risks include the risk of death, particularly for agitated individuals.”

WHAT!!! Those idiot Canuck weenies will ruin things for cops everywhere! I’ll never, EVER give up my Tazer! I keep good ol’ Betty Lu right beside my service piece, where I can jerk it out fast to zap ANYONE that gives me any lip. Ah Yes, electrons are a cop’s best friend.

Boys Boys…Officer Obie is not real..he is a paid troll…haven’t you figured that out yet? Don’t let those jerkoffs get to you….it is part of the plan. Ignore Ignore Ignore. The replies are probably not even real…all a setup to bring anger and moronic behaviour out of the patriots. Business as usual. I assume they are all Trolls and it makes me happy. No police officer that I know even talks like that. His IP could be reported by INFOWARS to his superiors. Whenever you see those comments, it is just to get you worked up…tell them you love them if you have reply at all. That will piss ‘em real good. Not accomplishing their goal will bug them. THICK SKIN FOLKS…THICK SKIN. reprt the reply if you want to get him…he directly threaten the public in his statement…report it..infowars will have to give up the IP and bam..game over. let me know how that goes.
Peace

To anyone who took Officer Obie seriously:
A thousand Picards are facepalming in unison in a thousand time loops right at this very moment, because of your stupidity.
If you’re naive enough to fall for the musings of an obvious troll, what other dumbfuckery will you fall for? How are you people going to “wake” others up when you possess the intellect of a compost heap?
You’re going to have Infowars trace his logged IP so he can be reported to his superiors? Good luck with that. Hope he didn’t use a proxy, hope he isn’t on a DHCP lease that will expire and will have a different IP when it renews, hope that you don’t get laughed and pointed at derisively as you try to explain to his “superiors” how he threatened the public and must tender his resignation.
Forget the sleeping public…I think the overwhelming idiocy that is on constant parade here is probably the biggest threat to the truth finally being exposed.

4 RCMP officers tazered a polish man to death at vancouver intl.airport because the man got angry for waiting too long at airport security,the problem was that he could not speak english. and no one tryed just good olde fashion “dog-pile” or tackle the guy,4 chicken cops were scared to tackle an old man. power abusive cops.

What? He most certainly did NOT shoot staples at THEM..I was in that airport and I watched the news everytime it aired because you can see me in the footage…he did nothing except pick up a chair…and since when can’t 4-5 cops handle one man?? My uncle is a ret.staff sarg…he was disgusted. Of course when you hire women to be cops and when hire men who are only 5′5″ tall…165 pounds, you get this kind of stuff happening.

The local news said this morning that the restriction is put on hold.

February 13th, 2009 at 12:23 pm
Finally, some good news, but they’re still pushing the “acutely agitated” suspects line making it seem that the hearts stopping are due to stress and NOT the taser….disgusting. We gotta push back, people.
I’ve done my part. Will you do yours? The enemy uses BILLIONS of YOUR HARD-EARNED MONEY every year in the agenda to keep us enslaved. Yes, HALF of your income and even MORE in the future will go to these CRIMINALS running the show in DC and the BANKS. How much more are we going to take before we join together and push back? I know there are at least 2 million Infowarriors out there who can contribute 5 bucks to the cause. That’s a $10 million injection into the Infowar which will help get the word out to more people$$. It’s ONLY awareness by the masses that will stop this in it’s tracks! This is a war, people, and as we all know from Iraq, wars need funding–except I’m not lying to justify my case!!! The only difference is we’re not able to steal from the citizens to fund our war. It has to come from US! Please donate today! Thanks for your support…

So what happened to the four rcmp officers that tasered to death Mr. Robert Jhakenski?(not shure about spelling)
The case was a joke.
They got away with MURDER.
And now, of course,they are going through the public inquiri.They are trying to defend the killers by telling us how scared they where.Four rcmp officer facing a weary traveller,who was pointing a loaded stapplers,and not only that,but he was firing the stapplers in their direction.Stapples where seen hitting the ground,so without hesitation a brave officer tasered the offender at least five times.
Oh yes, after they realised that they just killed the poor guy,they left him laying on his stomach,with his hands,cuffed beind his back until the paramedics showed up..
The best of news came yesterday,Vancouver will have lasting security legacy for years to come.At the latest estimate,1 billion $, will be spent to secure the games.

There’s no possible excuse to assault someone, in any way, unless it’s life or death.
If they have no good reason to shoot someone, they have no good reason to zap someone.
February 13th, 2009 at 12:56 pm
It won’t change anything, it just allows them to carry them till our democratic voice is stamped out then full use will be granted again.

What the hell ever happened to pepper spray, I know it dosn’t kill.

You obviously don’t know what it’s like for an asthmatic to be on the receiving end of pepper spray. These things are all torture devices, pure and simple. They should be banned. Barring that, their use should be limited to an alternative to firearms only. That means only used when there is a clear and present danger to human life, not for pain/torture compliance to get sadists’ rocks off. Being a cop is a dangerous job. If they can’t accept that, they should enter another line of work.
I say we get rid of city and state police completely and go back to sheriffs with posses of ordinary citizens temporarily sworn in as deputies. That would put the kibosh on the police state. Can’t have a police state without police. They’re useless anyway. All they do is prop up an illegitimate gov’t, make reports and clean up messes. Rarely is a real crime actually stopped by the cops. They’re not worth the risk they pose to freedom.

This is not progress, only a token concession – the cops will still do what they always do and claim that they thought their lives were in danger.

you said it brother…token concession..beware. The system is corrupt 100% not 35 or 50 or 90%…100 % …it has to all end and that is our task.
February 13th, 2009 at 11:54 pm
…And I agree that we need to just get rid of police…
We didn’t always have police and things were better then.
February 14th, 2009 at 4:37 am
Well, at least someone of proper calliber acknolwedges tazers can be lathal but this won’t change things much because it is up to the officer(s) to assess the threat level, and an ex-con with a badge is always “threatened”.
February 14th, 2009 at 1:44 pm
Every time an officer uses these on people, he must know that he will soon face a harsh retribution. The oxygen that these pigs breathe is agift from us, we will hunt them down and rip them apart.
February 14th, 2009 at 4:02 pm
Please mainstream media outlets, and activists who have the chance to shout questions to political leaders in town halls and press conferences, please ask the following in the future:
“RCMP policy changes acknowledge that Taser stun guns can kill – especially “acutely agitated” suspects – and will now restrict their use to cases involving threats to officers or public safety.
RCMP Commissioner William Elliott says the new rules clearly set out that Mounties can’t zap suspects for simple resistance or refusing to co-operate.”
Will the US government follow the recommendations of the RCMP and ban Pain Compliance?

Pete repeats the RCMP are LIARS!!! They have infiltrated the cities where they do not have JURISDICTION! The RCMP ARE LIARS!!! Don’t believe it!! Why are my comments disappearing?? ooo we have one who can see…..

Folks, the name “Officer Obie” comes from a classic Arlo Guthrie song (and later movie), “Alice’s Restaurant”.
