Canadians speak...

The Globe & Mail wrote an editorial titled More than a perception [LINK] criticizing the fact that the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police is accepting $25,000 in sponsorshit money from Taser 'Failure to Warn' International.

What next? Bernie Kerik (*) as the keynote speaker?

(* former rough-and-tumble Taser Director, currently facing 142 years in prison [LINK])

Attached to the on-line article are 30 comments [LINK] from Canadians all across Canada.

I note with some satisfaction that all seem to agree that there are significant and serious taser and associated ethical issues that must be addressed. There are none of the extreme rightwing law-and-order types spouting vile and presenting tattered pro-taser arguments. Which is nice.
