Or maybe don't bother-update: On May 9th, 2009, Coquitlam RCMP called for backup in helping to throw a frail and gaunt 83 year old retired University Professor Zdenek Smejkal to the ground where he was handcuffed behind his back and then stuffed into the back of a police car. His crime? Jaywalking because of a prostate condition. The police stated that they were very, very fearful of a 'steel rod' Prof. Smejkal was carrying. Sane people on the scene reported that the old man had a cane. Imagine if it had been a stapler!

Update #2 July 23, 2009- Justice Braidwood just made 19 recommendations regarding the police use and abuse of Tasers, as part of an inquiry into the brutal death of Mr. Dziekanski at YVR. He will later comment on the goons involved.

Idiots. Monstrous idiots.
