Ours just keep digging themselves into a deeper hole.

In an interview, in which he defended the current use of tasers, B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police president, Gord Tomlinson, offered an apology to the family of Mr. Dziekanski, admitted that the public trust had been eroded (duh) and said he welcomed a full review, in order to restore confidence. (yeah, right)

Given the following admission, if past behavior is any indication, a review and recommendations by a civilian authority, that might interfere with how the boys think they should deploy their own toys, seems to have been summarily dismissed or ignored.

It was pointed out to Tomlinson, that a Review by a panel of experts commissioned by the BC government, had already done a Report on the use of Tasers and the Report, with its guidlines was sent to every Police Department in the Province 2 years ago.

The report stated that tasers were not to be used as a means to apprehend passive individuals, nor to be used for multiple hits and that when a person had been tasered, no weight should not be applied to the chest area, as it interfered with the individual's recovery from the tasering.

Tomlinson said he was not aware of the report.
