Headlines not quite aligned with reality.
Recent headlines:
"Mental health group stands behind Tasers" [LINK]
"Mental health group says police use of Taser is far better than a gun" [LINK]
Actually (according to my sources):
"Dr. Gray’s comments are his own"
...with respect to the position of the society at the national level. The Schizophrenia Society at the national level is drafting a policy that appears likely to approximately follow the recommendations of RCMP watchdog Kennedy.
Fact-Check Time:
It is hardly the ringing endorsement of tasers that the media is making out of Dr. Gray's comments. The media should follow-up with the national organization to get the complete story.
