cnn.com — VANCOUVER, Canada -- A Canadian man died Saturday, four days after police used a Taser stun-gun on him because he reportedly was acting erratically in a store, police said. He was the third person to die in recent weeks in Canada after being shocked by the hand-held weapon.

I wouldn't put it past the news to simply report only the stories of people being tasered. I wonder how many deaths are going unreported right now. We have been using tasers for a long time and I don't remember many reports of people dying. Only until that one guy hogged Kerry's mic and got tasered for it has any news stories come out. Being tasered is in vogue, the news media is not very scientific. Let us allow time for the facts to be exhumed.

That makes 20 murders by law enforcement involving tasers in Canada since the weapon was introduced.Non lethal must have only been a marketing term.

It might surprise you that human stupidity is universal, though it seems to be more pervasive in American than here.

Not at all, just practical. I expect if I take a swing at someone, they are going to swing back and vice versa. Nothing masochistic about it at all, actually quite a logical way of thinking. Do onto others...

Who cares what he was doing! A man is dead because people want to electrocute others for acting radically! Once the heart receives high doses of electricity and then the electricity stops leaving the heart in diastole then you might as well call a coroner after a couple minutes, because the suspect just became a victim of an immoral way of detention!

I'd say it was pretty typical these days. Police beat the hell out of a lot of people it just doesn't make the news very often.

We had hopes of obtaining further surgery for Aaron’s damaged right arm, and had already booked the surgery, in advance. Tuesday, January 17th,2006, we were forced to cancel the surgery, after consulting with Dr. O’Driscoll, as he had a concern that further surgery could possibly cause life-long pain, as a result of nerve damage.Wednesday, January 18th,2006, Aaron and I began our return trip to Winnipeg, from Rochester, via Minneapolis.After boarding the Northwest Airlines plane in Minneapolis, we encountered an airline attendant who was extremely rude, to both of us, and so made a legitimate complaint about her conduct. We were completely unaware that the flight crew, and the Minneapolis Airport personnel (including airport police) had all just recently finished completing the 911 motivated Homeland Security Passenger Profiling Training Program.In a very short space of time, Minneapolis Airport Police boarded the aircraft, asking Aaron to accompany them off the plane. When Aaron enquired as to whether there were any charges against him, and whether he was under arrest, the response from the lead officer in the isle of the plane was a clear and emphatic “No sir, there are no charges against you.” and, “No sir, you are not under arrest.” Thus assured, Aaron enquired as to why, then, was he being asked to leave the aircraft. The response from the officer was to shout “cuff ‘im!”, and to lunge at Aaron’s damaged right arm. Aaron was then assaulted and tasered, and badly injured. He still suffers symptoms of heart problems up until this point in time, as a result of the taser being held over his heart for prolonged periods of time, after he had fallen backwards in the isle of the plane (“left chest”, as stated in the police report).

Is Canada a legal Tyranny according to the United States Declaration of Independence and Law?The Shocking is Yes. According to the American Constitution and US Law any country which protects members of the police by mock trial for any murders which they should commit is a Tyranny.<a class="user" href="http://piggypalace.goodtimessociety.com/node/4145" rel="nofollow">http://piggypalace.goodtimessociety.com/node/4145</a>
