I dont think too much is going to come of this.

To be honest, some cops need those tasers. You go down to Toronot on the weekend to a club, the entertainment district is packed with people. Ive seen some takedowns in recent months involving violent (most likely drunk or high) people and I have to say tasers in those instances were completely necessary for the cops to keep control of the situation.

That being said, there are far to many incidents where tasers are not warrented and such was the case with this polish immigrant. For the record, I dont know what the answer is.

I'd say it starts with proper screening of new cops, then proper training of those cops. I saw the video of the Polish dude and it was disgraceful. The cops were just too damn LAZY to do their job properly. Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing cops here, just those ones. My old man was in the RCMP. I haven't talked to him lately but I'd wager he'd say the same thing.

I hope something DOES come out of this.

I agree, with proper training, screening, and oversight the taser issue can be resolved.

So do I, but untill adequate oversight is used and punishment handed out, I fear nothing will change.

There's a HUGE outcry about this up here. Those cops WILL be held accountable.

Thats actually very good to hear.

Too many times do such abuses happen and the only punishment dished out is a paid suspension or a transfer.
