Former RCMP commissioner Giuliano Zaccardelli says that Canada's national police force should stop using Tasers.
The CBC story makes it sound like Zaccardelli's main concern is bad publicity and public perception - not the deaths of citizens at the hands of police. Whether he has to take that position to not lose face, or whether it's even an accurate representation, I can't say.
Of course, it's much easier for him to take this position now that he's no longer commissioner.
I'm no fan of Zaccardelli, but anyone who finally stands up for what's right deserves credit.
