| RCMP changes to taser rules are scary
http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2009/03/25/taser.html
CBC News has learned that on Feb. 3, 2009, two sentences were erased from the main document that guides officers' actions — the first limiting Taser usage to one shot and no more than 20 seconds at a time, and the second requiring officers to warn suspects before deploying a stun gun.

Don't act like a douche and you don't have to worry about being tazered. 99.99% of the people who are tazed deserve every second of it.

Usually torture is reserved for things like, the rack, water torture, the judas chair. All having one common trait. That the subject be already restrained.
If you're referring to the Dziekanski's case, the tazers were used during the course of restrainment. Not after it. The usage of the word "torture" just seems inciteful in this case.

Five-Oh, have you ever been tazed? Have you ever tazed anyone? When do you taze a person more than once?
Just wondering, I hear of cops that have never fired their gun but I wonder if the same is true about tazers

I have been trained on the Taser for almost two years and have never deployed it on anybody. You use it more than once if the situation calls for it, hard to explain since it is a case by case basis as rarely are two situations we deal with ever alike.

And yes, we get Tased and pepper sprayed as part of our training. The Taser was easy and I would do it again if needed. You couldn't pay me enough to get pepper sprayed again, it was by far the most painful experience I have ever been through and I have had lots of injuries through years of playing hockey.

I have been tased before and its not a big deal, wasn't painful at all, just felt like a giant muscle cramp and I was fine pretty much immediately after. Getting hit with a baton or pepper spray hurts a lot more and does more damage the large majority of the time.

The worst part is, when tyranny finally does come to Canada, we don't even have guns to defend ourselves.
Canada, and the USA, are both moving away from what made them great...
