An elderly man in Kamloops, B.C., was zapped three times on the torso by a police stun gun while lying on his hospital bed, CBC News has learned.
Frank Lasser, 82, appeared fragile Thursday when he showed the Taser marks on his body and talked about the ordeal he went through Saturday.
Hmm... there's a big contraversy over Tasers. Zapping people twice can kill them. So what do the RCMP do ? This 82 year old man , who is delirious and has a knife in his hand , and oxygen lines and is in bed, he can't get up, he can't actually chase anyone around ... they taser him not once, not twice, but three times.
What did they do ? Send the Peewee Herman squad down there and they were terrified of him ? Can't you just wrap your arm in a towel and reach out and grab his arm ? You're wearing a bloody bullet proof vest !
Three times is a message. It's a message from the cops to the canadian public on the issue of Tasers. And that message is a middle finger right at us. That message is that they'll do what ever the heck they like and we can go whistle our opinion doesn't count.
I vote we remove the tasers from the police. Permanently.
