(Edmonton Sun) Calgary - Police are looking for two men who launched an unprovoked attack on a homeless man, hitting him across the head and repeatedly jolting him with a stun gun before swiping his cellphone and bike. Const. Gord Denison said ..."This is fairly unusual in Calgary. But they're a weapon and no different than a knife or any other weapon..." [LINK]
Well no different except for one thing: Officially (still?), they are 'incapable' (sic) of killing. Keep that in mind in the event that one day an officer is killed in the line of duty by multiple stun gun hits directly to the chest.
See 'Gedanken' [LINK] and 'Non-armed robbery' [LINK] (*).
Perhaps a more reasonable approach to the official level of safety would be in order so that future murder charges against cop-killers are not short-circuited by previous claims of cardiac safety.
And the police should add a conductive layer of tin-foil or aluminum screen [LINK] to their standard issue bullet-proof vests to protect themselves from death at the hands of criminals (non-)armed (*) with 'perfectly-safe' non- or less-lethal murderous weapons.
