'We don't like brown people....we have a taser.'

Joke of the Day: Officer motions for motorist to open their car window. Motorist complies. Officer asks, "Good afternoon. Do you know why I pulled you over today?" Motorists offers, "Perhaps it's because you got straight 'D's all through high school?" Sorry. It's just a joke and it certainly does not apply to very many officers.

But when you read yet another news story about a group of knuckle-headed off-duty police officers getting all drunk, stupid, and racist, it makes you wonder.

This time it is not drunk Halifax police in Digby, NS. This time it's slice-of-life morons-in-blue in the Vancouver area.

They said 'We don't like brown people. ... We are the police. You don't need help. If you don't behave … we have a taser.' ...

Three off-duty officers were arrested by Vancouver police as a result of the altercation. The officers belong with the West Vancouver, New Westminster and Delta police departments. [LINK]


Did three drunk off-duty police officer really have a taser in their possession?

If they did, then they MUST be sentenced to something like two years in prison if The Rule of Law is to survive in Canada. Seriously! If these twits really were packing a taser under these circumstances, then they must go directly to jail, and do not pass Go, and do not collect $200.

And that's in addition to all the other criminal charges that must be brought.

Even those in the law enforcement community must agree with this self-obvious conclusion (assuming they take their oath more seriously than their misplaced loyalty to those so-called 'brothers' that would besmirch what little remains of the tattered reputation of policing in Canada).

It's simple: If these slimeballs walk, then this country is doomed. It's that serious.


Next think about the old maxim. If you walk past a haystack and happen to spot three needles, then it's very likely that the haystack contains many more than just three needles.

So obviously, in any group of seemingly fine up-standing brave and dedicated police officers, we apparently have some percentage of idiots that are weekend drunks and closet racists, ready-to-abuse the innocent, walking talking human rights nightmares.

Since the police system is obviously incapable of weeding them out, then they're out there even now.

Hundreds.

Thousands?

And armed with their police-state wetdream weapon, tasers.

And almost certainly more than willing to press charges against their victims as legal cover for their abusive behaviour.

Do you see the problem?

Honestly, good old fashioned guns have a certain seriousness attached to them that taser torture toys lack. Police guns have not really ever been an on-going problem in Canada.

Tasers in this environment are an obvious problem.

Innocent people will be tortured for the amusement of not-yet-detected racist thugs-in-blue, and then those innocent people will be criminally charged as legal cover. And we'll never know about the real story unless it just so happens that an unnoticed camera was across the street.

The only soultion is an immediate taser moratorium until the training and accountablility and ethical standards are brought up to modern standards.
