According to a recent news article, the old commish of the RCMP believes members shouldn’t use tasers.
Zaccardelli, how long has it been since you’ve been on the street? Obviously, he hasn’t worked the street in a long time — to say that for political reasons, we should get rid of a tool on the officer’s belt. Perhaps we should ban handguns too, as what they do isn’t popular in the media. Lets make officers duke it out with offenders without any tools other than a big billy club, just like the old days. Zaccardelli, you’re retired. Stop pulling down the membership with more decisions based on politics rather than practicality. Tasers save more lives than they take and when used properly, are an integral tool to police the street.
Since when did politics and perception override officer safety?
