Taser Use Soars as Concerns Mount Over Safety

VANCOUVER - The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) has doubled its use of Taser stun guns since 2005, according to an investigation by CBC and the Canadian Press. The RCMP has also been found to be less than forthright in producing information related to Taser incidents.

The use of Tasers by Canadian policing forces has become a national and international issue since Robert Dziekanski, a Polish man wishing to immigrate to the country, was Tasered and killed at the Vancouver International Airport.
