ZAP! You're a Victim of the New Policy

It is good news that the RCMP watchdog will begin investigations into 10 deaths involving Mounties and tasers.

I suppose.

But try this.

A friend advises me that the other day on Beach Avenue he observed a little drama in amazement.

Several police cars converged quickly to apprehend a young man walking down the street.

The telling detail was this.

They had their tasers drawn and ready.

Question:

Is now standard police practice?
