At Least They Didn't Have to Call an Ambulance

RCMP officers in Kamloops, BC tasered an 82 year old man - three times - while he was in hospital with pneumonia. One of the RCMP officers involved paints the incident as an act of heroism, saying "We tasered him to save his life actually. The old man's heart stopped while we were beating him with our nightsticks, so instead of waiting for some useless doctor to show up with a defibrillator, we gave him a shot of juice then and there. Those taser guns are a heck of a lot more fun to use than boring old paddles anyway. Not that the old coot deserved the help. You know he stole the fruit cup from the man in the bed beside him? Sure the guy is in a coma, but it's still his fruit cup, and anyone who doesn't respect that fact gets what's coming to him. I'll tell you, if it weren't for the RCMP, this country would be overrun by goons and savages drunk on authority."
