Is this true? In Canada?
Found on-line: "The Use of Force Continuum is antiquated. It is now called Objective Reasonableness. No longer do police have to follow a continuum. They merely have to respond with actions that are objectively reasonable for the given situation."
If true, then this would be good news.
Did the police in Canada get the memo? They're still yammering on about The Continuum.
One of my concerns with the stupid old Use of Force Continuum is that these lists typically fail to demarcate between those that are simply non-compliant or passively resisting, and those that are violent.
This blatant flaw leads directly to the stupidly-obvious taser abuse such as "Let go of the rail." NO! ZAP!
Can we hold anyone accountable for this insane diversion into The Police State? And - is it over?
