David Trippett Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Man, just saw this one on the news....so fucked up! I hope those bastards lose their jobs. It seems since the border guards got firearms their attitudes have taken a nose dive. Conversely, the US border guards have been quite pleasant of late. Quote

David Trippett Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 speaking of nose dives....have you seen the Canadian Dollar lately? Quote
murraysovereign Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 It seems since the border guards got firearms their attitudes have taken a nose dive. Those weren't border guards - they were RCMP. Ironically, the big argument against arming the border guards was that they were insufficiently trained. But this guy managed to be processed through immigration without a single border guard killing him - intentionally or otherwise. It wasn't until he fell into the hands of the supposedly highly trained Mounties that things went completely off the rails. Quote
gertlush Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 Tragic but if I were the RCMP I would have done the same. Post 9/11 you don't mess around in the airport. What were they supposed to do? If I got stuck in the airport for 8 hours I wouldn't start throwing stuff around. Quote
murraysovereign Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 What were they supposed to do? Gee, I dunno. Maybe try to find out what the problem was, instead of hitting the guy with 50,000 volts less than a minute after arriving? Maybe try to find someone to translate for him, instead of hitting the guy with 50,000 volts less than a minute after arriving? Maybe offer him a chair to sit down, try to de-stress him a bit, instead of hitting the guy with 50,000 volts less than a minute after arriving? They made no effort at all to try to find out what was bothering him, they just hit him with 50,000 volts less than a minute after arriving. That seems a bit hasty. It's not like he was being aggressive toward the police - he was standing, facing them, with his hands at his sides, when they hit him with 50,000 volts. He was obviously upset and confused and scared, so the first thing the cops try is... 50,000 volts? WTF? I'm sorry, but those cops weren't in any danger, he wasn't threatening them, he was just standing there. They could have taken a bit of time to try to cool him down and figure out his situation - maybe that's what they were supposed to do, huh? Nah, fuck it - that's too much like "old-school" police work. Let's just tase him, instead. But don't worry, the whole incident is being investigated... by the police. Quote

Oh sure, another "mountie" bashing thread - so funny I forgot to laugh. Does it never get old? Well just you go right ahead, have your fun... . .. ... ....sorry for that... lack of sleep and all.. Chin up, carry on Quote

Dechristo Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 Amnesty International has reported that, since June 2001, more than 150 people have died in the United States after being subdued with a stun gun. Quote
