TUESDAY:

just shut up, will you?
Sorry Officer. Don't shoot!!
Thank you for that story. I too think that it's time for St.Lucia to review it's police force, Seems to me that the first step in questioning to "shoot first cause dead man don't talk".
The Commissioner himself knows No better, I belive that the whole RSLPF needs to under go training, which will add in dealing with the people they serve, After all the tax payer pays their bills.
Saint Lucia has become a war zone sooner than later we will be depending for help and assistance from the US, Canada, England and other countries to police & govern our once beautiful St.Lucia.
It really hurts to see what that Island has become, ..The
so-called Police force has done so much "DAMAGE" to the Island.
*Questing remains......How will they work on fixing the damage? The Citizens don't trust them.
The police commissioner himself do not give a "DAME", OH, Poor St.Lucia, Our people are now in fear of their own land of birth.
Canada? It's worse up here, and don't even mention the states, it's a global problem.

Police hedge on Taser use after new rules
Last Updated: Monday, December 7, 2009
Police officers are rethinking their use of stun guns, after Taser International advised them to stop aiming at the chest because of a slight risk of cardiac arrest when the electrified darts hit there.
The company has advised the police to instead aim for the belly or the back of the legs.
Taser International has always assured police officers that the stun gun can never cause problems with the heart, no matter how many times it is used on someone.
Now the company says, just to be safe — from a liability point of view — police should avoid firing at the chest.
"The entire playing field has been altered," said Tony Simioni, president of the Edmonton Police Association.
He said that even before this recent policy, some police officers had begun leaving their Taser in their locker "based on the level of scrutiny, just the overall perception that this Taser may be more trouble than it is worth."
"Now there's an increasing tendency not to use the Taser at all because the deployment instructions are unrealistic, in their view," Simioni said.
Mike Sutherland, president of the Winnipeg Police Association, said the directive now puts his members at risk if they fire the stun gun and it hits the chest.
"I think there's a possibility that we may see an increase — especially given the controversy surrounding the Taser — that our members dragged into court cases where liability will become an issue," Sutherland said.
