    I think this one is pretty obvious the guy was a psycho, or on drugs or something, if they had to use all 3 methods on him, he wouldn't be in the hospital if he wasn't breaking the law and resisting arrest

    It is worthy to note that with the earlier airport Tazer incident fresh in their minds these mounties were very careful in the application of necessary force.

    Our reaction in these matters has become an assumption of Police brutality rather than the proper assumption that the police avoided unneccessary force.

    Again I say, it's better to be wounded (even severly) from a Tazer then to be dead from a gunshot. It seems black and white yes, but before the Tazer came along cops had their verbal skills (negotiation) or their shooting skills to rely on. Now they have a 90% non-lethal third option. It is still better than the alternative.

    From what I heard on the news, his condition was not caused my police, or at least it is not sure it was. He was covered in blood, and that doesn't come from Taser.

    I think the RCMP have been thinking 9 times before they used that.

    They did what they had to do. Even if this guy dies.

    Well said...but can you find out how many officers have also been injured in order to bring the suspect down ? its good to talk about one thing, but you still have to look on the other side of the story in order to be realistic.

    The blood was from the batons they hit him with. He probably had it coming.
