In a meeting of minds and hearts bloggers across the world are pledging support for the Day of Blogging for Justice. Clearly there is a feeling amongst ordinary people that there is something very wrong with justice systems and law enforcement that continue to deploy the Taser.

I doubt that police authorities expected the level of Taser abuse that has now reached epidemic proportions. The idea of a weapon that would not kill but incapacitate a violent or threatening suspect must have seemed like manna from heaven. The general consensus appears to be that Tasers would be used instead of guns therefore reducing deaths at point of arrest. Whether that was a sensible assumption is subject to debate but in practice we now have gung-ho cops using them for the flimsiest of excuses. A Canadian pressure group has produced the most powerful video on climate change I have ever seen. The group named Moms Against Climate Change are rallying support from Canadians to lobby their Conservative Prime Minister. The video is awesome. Rory Rickwood designed his Taser Protest Graphic as a response to the killing of Mr. Dziekanski. |
