John Dempsey, who suffers from torsion dystonia, is wrestled to the ground by two RCMP officers in 2004.
Video shows RCMP using Taser on man
A video has surfaced showing a 45-year-old disabled man being jolted by a Taser inside a Kamloops, B.C. RCMP detachment.
The video shows John Dempsey, who suffered from a muscle disorder, being wrestled to the ground by two RCMP officers, who then used the conducted energy weapon on him while he was on the ground.
In 2004, Dempsey, 45, was arrested for obstructing a police officer who had tried to intervene in the arrest of a friend he thought the Mounties were roughing up.
When officers led Dempsey to the booking room, police said he was combative. He put his foot on the door, and was wrestled to the ground by two officers.
While he was on the ground, face down, hands handcuffed behind his back, Cpl. Macahonic pulled out his Taser, placed it on Dempsey's back, and pulled the trigger.
"I wasn't resisting arrest, I calmly walked, he grabbed me, and said this will teach you not to [profanity] with you, that's what he said," Dempsey said later.
Dempsey launched a lawsuit accusing the RCMP of excessive force. He alleged he was not the only one who was Tasered unnecessarily -- he was punched in the face by the arresting officer.
Dempsey died a few weeks ago after he was hit by a car on the Coquihalla Highway in an unrelated incident.

tasers will soon be out when the get the blinding and deafening weapons in.
it is crutial to liberty that each and every member of this and other commonlaw jurisdiction: Canada USA NewZealand Austrailia et al bnegin to realise exactly how the state apparatus works and what your part is in it
I have been scratching at the surface of what is recognised as "Law" for a short while and even with the scant knowledge I have can see that all registered births in this country give the state sole ownership od the 'person'
"Person" is a classification and quite distinct from man and Natural law
The issue of status is a matter of record. One need only to research the topic and they will begin to find for themselves two very distinct sets of law
Gods Law and mans law, acts statutes and various other contrivances used to to control state property: us.
Poli-tics ( many = blood sucking insects) voting and other illusions which create law , law we have allowed to be created by trust, trust that is betrayed, has wrought the action by the police as shown in the article to which I respond.
I, you, we have allowed in our ignorance a tryanny the prportion of which are not comprehended, to flourish
911 played a crutial role in the hijacking of freedoms and liberties in the United States and Canada. The NAU will fix in place a largely unrecognised tyranny and the seeple will graze
Can Man be Domesticated?
that question has already beem answered by the jackboot mentality openly displayed and which goes by largely unpunished whenever actions brought to light on this thread.

"We've got a systemic problem that demands an immediate answer," said Jason Gratl.
Did anyone check out 'related links'?
"The public inquiry into the death of a Polish immigrant hit with an RCMP Taser at Vancouver airport will not review the way police investigate themselves."

So, the 3 Wolves and a sheep get to vote on what's for dinner. Interesting how the 'Writ of Assistance', an open ended search warrant, was a mitigating factor in the American Revolution. I wonder if people will realize how much random people being tasered affects their own personal rights, and if they are willing to revolt when justice is not served in their name.
These bad apples should be removed from the RCMP barrel swiftly and without remorse.
tasers will soon be out when the get the blinding and deafening weapons in.
Don't forget the microwave weapons.

When you give people roles like "police" or "prison guard", even normal non-sadistic people tend to start treating the people they deal with badly. Read "The Lucifer Effect".
Glad to see you submitting and with all due respect i suggest no submtting to that I in any way give my authority to the state the state TAKES authoriy onto themselves.
It you pProvince the taking of authorit became much easier due to the lack of participation at the polling ststions.
It is no small point I make.
as to what is the norm, that to is on the skids.
I see no reversal of present trends with regard to either police state mentality or a shift in
Consciousness, that is to say from the unconscious to the conscious.
We here, for the most part , preach to the choir and that choir is dwindling.
To a degree just out of reach of comprehension the very words used to descibe what is attempting to be conveyed are as much at fault as any other factor.
Yes, but nothing will change unless our corrupt rulers are treated in kind. The bad apples in the RCMP protect their corrupt masters, and their corrupt masters protect the bad apples in the RCMP (the same rule applies to all the other government agencies as well).
