Shocking news headines

The use of tazers as a means to protect officers is not always as entertaining as such. In recent news, a man in Vancouver was recently killed when police had used a tazer while trying to subdue the man. A video of the incident can be seen for one to make judgement upon.

Such a video has caused a global outcry over the incident. Authorities had even made an attempt to keep the release of this video from the public eye, but failed to do so. This was most likely an attempt to prevent media from placing a spin on the incident. With only 4 Corporate Media's within Canada, it would more than likely be the case with the video's release, the whole story would not have been told. The release of the video did much what police had predicted. Judgements were made as to the actions taken by police officers that resulted in the man's death. The public was outraged that the four policemen in the video went to such lengths to restrain a man, that onlookers described as scared and misunderstood. However, the Canadian Media, in their attempt to appease its viewers left out information that the man had been throwing objects, shouting at the police as they calmly approached the man. In a closer look at the video, it is apparent that Mr. Dziekanski was holding a foreign object in his hands when police had first tazered him, leading to the second and fatal tazering. But this was not dwelled upon by the Canadian Media like the results of the incident had been. In fact, if I were to be writing an article like such for a newspaper, chances are it would not be published, for it is would not be in synct with the views that they would wish to portray.
Please, do not assume that I believe the death of Mr. Dziekanski to be in vein or trivial, hopefully some good may come of it. It is clear that with 17 deaths over the last 5 years within Canada, that tazers are not the safest means for police to subdue a suspect. In light of such incidents, police should consider alternate means such as the next video displays. Minus the comical music, it is very well feasible that safer means for police to restrain suspects are available.
