The [Vancouver PD] report noted that it is “unlikely that other jurisdictions experienced such a similar decrease”, but then again no explanation for that statement was offered. [LINK]
But - Greater Sudbury's force also saw a decrease in 2008, with 23 firings from 55 in 2007. [LINK]
Some taser fan-boys would make claims that effectively imply (almost threaten) that - for example - the police in Greater Sudbury would have been forced to shoot to death about 32 people (during 2008) to make up for the reduction in taser (mis..., over-..., ab...) use.
In such cases, I recommend calling their bluff.
