He had an epileptic seizure outside his place of employment. He blacks out anc wakes up on the ground in handcuffs and in pain, hearing his boss tell the cops to let him go

During his seizure the cops apparently held him down and then got mad when he was thrashing and tazed him. Then they charged him with assaulting an officer cause of the thrashing

Charges finally got dropped though. But it also sounds like cops didn't get any consequences

These cops need to be tazed themselves. Maybe then we'd get less assholes who think a body's involuntary reaction to being electrocuted is "resisting arrest".

I thought Canada was better than this.

They likely knew the charges wouldn't stick and had no plans to follow through. Which needs to carry consequences.

Also my first aid course (and I assume all first aid courses) emphasized that when someone is having a seizure not to try and restrain them during it. Police have to take these courses.

Suing is a privilege only people who already have money are afforded, unfortunately. Almost like it's by design...

Canada cops are just as bad. They also held a person in a stormtrooper costume at gunpoint.

Idk about Canada but here In American law enforcement security etc have to be tazed to qualify to carry a tazer. Just like I had to be pepper sprayed in order to carry pepper spray.

Damn, thats some fucking Viking-esque trial by fire shit. Do you have to get shot to qualify for carrying a gun?

No but we have made that joke

It's supposed to be so we know what it feels like so maybe just maybe we will have some empathy and not taze or pepper spray someone over dumb shit.

There is a extra part to the reasoning on pepper spray too. So incase a inmate/perp manages to get ahold of some and spray you hopefully having experienced it before you can still fight back. Cause after they spray you they make you do shit before you wash your eyes.

Good thing too cause I got caught in the cross fire when my partner sprayed a inmate I was fighting. She soaked both of us with one of them big cans that spray a lot more in shorter time lol

We'd have a lot less cowards with guns if they knew first hand how getting shot felt like.

(Of course the real reason is that an actual shot would be far more likely to be lethal)

Just because they're typically not as shitty as American cops doesn't mean they aren't still incredibly shitty.

In the army you walk through a fogged tear gas chamber and find the door, where they keep it closed and laugh for a few seconds first. Then you go outside to a lake of puke, snot and saliva.. every fluid in your head and stomach pours out uncontrollably and it burns your eyes for a solid hour. Fun day in basic.

Yeah I've heard.

Personally I handled the pepper spray pretty well. Well once I was allowed to wash out I recovered extremely fast.

My mom had to get pepper sprayed yearly for one job she had

Have you never seen an a lawyers ad? They work on, I can never remember the word, but basically, they take a cut of the settlement. If you dont win the lawsuit, they get nothing. You dont pay them
out of pocket.

Iirc, an American needs to be a professional such as a doctor, or engineer, or have a ton of money to have any chance of being able to emigrate to Canada.

I dont watch TV or use social media so no I havent, nor do I even know if such an equivalent exists in Australia. Come to think of it I dont think Ive ever seen an ad for legal representation

I just googled it, and contingency fees are illegal in Australia, but not in Canada. I wonder why the practice is looked down upon down under?

Not really in English.

Americas = the continent(s)
America = the United States

In Spanish, I'm aware it's a different story (though one of the Spanish terms for the US is "North American," so not like Spanish doesn't get sloppy, too).

Also, blaming America for stuff that happens outside of America is a pretty common internet joke.

America can actually refer to either.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/America
America
geographical name
Amer i ca -mer--k -me-r-

1
either continent (North America or South America) of the western hemisphere
2
or the Americas -mer--kz

-me-r-
the lands of the western hemisphere including North, Central, and South America and the West Indies
3
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Of course, most people would refer to the US if they're not being pedantic lol.
