Rory Rickwood is another voice against the use of the Taser ‘cattle prod’ as he has dubbed it. Rory Rickwood designed his Taser Protest Graphic as a response to the killing of Mr. Dziekanski.
“Mr. Dziekanski died after being inappropriately tasered multiple times by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)” says Mr Rickwood, “Tasers use fits well with ideas by 17th Century English philosopher Thomas Hobbes – police can be the obedience judge, jury and executioner.”

But some recent analogues for us kids would include Judge Dredd and the police in The Handmaid’s Tale. Funny how some of the worst aspects of sci-fi dystopias are coming to a town or city near you.
Thanks for commenting Renee. My reports are an aggregation of news reports, which is why I try to always link to sources. The particular section of my article was in fact cut and pasted from a news item.
I will making some changes to this article and I will delete the reference to his height. Thank you.
I think you should check your facts. Robert D. was not 6″9″ tall. He was about the same height as the 4 killer cops. He was under 6 feet tall.
