    New taser directives for police, avoid the heart.

    Police forces in Vancouver, Calgary and Winnipeg say they will be following the new avoid-the-heart directive.

    Winnipeg city Coun. Gord Steeves, who heads a committee overseeing the Winnipeg Police Service, says the department will follow Taser International's recommendations for both safety and legal reasons.

    "You'd be wise to follow that, firstly of course from a safety perspective, and secondly from a liability perspective. You better work that into your policy, if the company who makes the product is actually saying that," he told CBC News.

    But he added this caveat: "There are sometimes struggles. A perfect shot is not always possible in every circumstance."

    The RCMP is also implementing the directive.

    Another day, another VPD abuse story..

    Once again we wake up to a story of abuse at those who are deemed to protect us. In this latest example it is again the VPD that are alleged to have beaten two women and again erased the cell phone evidence against them.

    RCMP's lawyer quits Dziekanski Taser inquiry

    "The change came after Roberts made a tearful apology at the inquiry for failing to disclose an RCMP email that suggested the four Mounties who responded to a call to Vancouver International Airport made plans to stun Dziekanski with a Taser before they saw him. Dziekanski, a Polish immigrant, died in the airport's arrivals lounge in October 2007 after being stunned. Roberts had said the failure to disclose the email was an accidental oversight. Before the email was revealed, the four officers had stated under oath that they had not discussed using the stun gun before arriving at the airport. The email, from RCMP Chief Supt. Dick Bent to assistant commissioner Al McIntyre, said that: "Finally, spoke to Wayne and he indicated that the members did not articulate that they saw the symptoms of excited delirium, but instead had discussed the response en route and decided that if he did not comply that they would go to CEW."

    Rcmp Officer also involved in dui death as well as Dziekanski tasering death

    RCMP didn't tell pathologist Dziekanski suffered multiple Taser stuns

    The forensic pathologist who performed the autopsy on Robert
    Dziekanski was not told by the Mounties that the Polish immigrant had
    been stunned by a Taser as many as five times, a public inquiry into
    his death heard Monday.

    Charles Lee testified that two RCMP investigators sat in on the
    autopsy, and that they never said the energy weapon had been fired at
    least five times at Dziekanski.

    Mother's efforts to find Dziekanski at airport 'disregarded

    Airport and immigration staff did not provide enough help to Robert
    Dziekanski's mother as she waited for his arrival at Vancouver airport,
    an inquiry into the death of the Polish immigrant heard Wednesday.

    Richard
    Hutchinson testified that he and Sofia Cisowski, Dziekanski's mother,
    could not get anyone to help them find out what had happened to the
    40-year-old, who had flown to Vancouver from Frankfurt to meet his mom
    and immigrate to Canada.

    And injustice for all: Cops face no charges in death of Robert Dziekanski

    The cops who brutally attacked newly-arrived immigrant Robert Dziekanski
    at Vancouver International Airport on October 14, 2007, tragically
    causing his death, will face absolutely no criminal charges. That's
    right, none.

    A year ago, when I wrote my sad and angry piece, "Kill, Duck and Cover: The RCMP Rant",
    I was outraged and sickened but at least I knew that, with the video
    evidence the whole world had just seen, there would eventually be some
    sort of justice for Dziekanski and his heartbroken mother, Sofia Cisowski. Sadly, I was wrong. There will be no justice. None whatsoever.

    This prick needs to be locked up, not policing...

    Robert Dziekanski's murdering cop kills another

    As the reporter in this article states, if you or I were drunk, and just run somebody over, we'd still be in jail with our picture splashed all over the paper.

    First the RCMP stall the inquiry into the tragic manslaughter of Robert Dziekanski, and now it is reported that one of the "officers" that was present at the death of Mr. Dziekanski was involved in the death of Orion Hutchinson, a 21 year old riding his motorcyle. The unnamed officer faces charges of blowing over .08, and impaired driving causing death.

    Whilst this officer in entitled to a fair trial, he is not deserving of having his identity protected. Let's end the secrecy that entails police investigations into each other. Who is policing the police?

    And we're supposed to trust them to police themselves? An example of corruption and murder...

    Emails revealed this week show RCMP top brass offering support to officers involved in the tasering death of Robert Dziekanski. This all the while they profess full transparency in the investigation involving these same officers.

    As well Premier Campbell, puts his two cents in, in regards to his full support of tasering individuals.
