"Ontario's top cop yesterday blasted critics who rush to judgment after police used Tasers in the death of a man at a Vancouver airport but remain mute when police officers are killed.

Gee, Could we possibly be screaming about things like this?

"The Utah Highway Patrol said the video, taken from Trooper John Gardner's pa[t]rol car, showed him Tasering Jared Massey when he started walking away after refusing to sign the ticket, Associated Press reported.." (AUS) (you will note that the officer has his Taser out and aimed at the driver before he has reached for his handcuffs and at no time did he say "Stop, or I will Taser you" as he claims to the other officer. I don't know about Utah, in Canada one doesn't need to sign a ticket for it to be valid. One only signs it when one is contesting the ticket and sending it in to state one is going to go to court over it .)
