And yet most police forces, being completely under the 'bromance' induced spell of the stun-gun salesmen, took them at their word about the (American) classification.<br /><br />There are rules and laws in Canada surrounding the use and storage of firearms. Many of these have been explicitly ignored by the police forces.<br /><br />And not a single charge has ever been laid regarding this massive fiasco cause by the too-close relationship between the slippery stun gun salesmen and the gullible police.<br /><br />They should hang their heads in shame at being so skillfully played.

Taser abuse by law enforcement should therefore result in a charge, among others, of "Assault with a deadly weapon".<br /><br />The irony and inconsistency is pretty obvious.Critical Masshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08948484903941020906noreply@blogger.com
