The Oscar Grant story again… Did Officer Mehserle mean to grab his Taser and pull his .40 caliber handgun instead? And if so, what does that mean? The Toronto Star provides this helpful graphic (below the fold). Amateur video posted on Reddit.com shows officer holding his head after a shot was...

Grant appeared to be subdued when he was shot to death by BART Transit officer Johannes Mehserle. Mehserle has now resigned, but anger continues to build around the Country (and in some cases...

It's always hard to know where to begin with Tasers. I mean, they're a nightmare for the citizens against whom they're used, the lawsuits will end up costing millions of taxpayer dollars and they inevitably suppress freedom of speech and assembly.

The Victorian police have killed again, this time an obviously troubled 15 year old boy who came at them with knives at a skate park. I remember back in 2004 I had a debate, involving at least one cop, about why Melbourne police should be issued with tasers to avoid this kind of senseless death. Fou...

There are quite a few things to be learned from one of CBC's latest Access To Information (ATI) requests. Here's the obvious (read the emails here): The RCMP's “law and order� ideology is highly supported by BC's top Liberal administrators, including (well-known drunk and overpaid monkey) Gordon...

It's one thing to apply the taser WITHOUT killing the "suspect", it's another thing to use it as an "excellent example" that a deadly device is able to "save lives". At issue is the deployment of the taser on a suicidal man who was hiding on the balcony of a Nanaimo motel, after he had slit his wris...
