RUEZ RUEZ:

Good old CBC. They don't mention that she was waving a large knife about and refused to put it down. No, they just say "police shock 'distraught' woman with Taser."

Bad, bad police.

Typical CBC.

Actually they did mention she had a knife. I don't think the police are portrayed as the bad guys here. That woman is responsible for the outcome as well as that jackass that tried to be a hero. If it weren't for him they may have talked her into dropping the knife.

Yea, once you get past the headline Ruez. The headline alludes to police just tasering an upset woman. As the article goes on we get the facts but the tone of it all isn't very supportive.

It's like having a headline saying "Man pushes woman to the ground." Then we find out the man pushed the woman out of the way of a speeding car and saves her life.

It's a disingenious way of reporting that makes the reader think that the bad cops have been bad again and it's very typical CBC.

I wouldn't worry to much about the CBC and their overly slanted, inuendo laden headlines anymore.

Soon enough all these supposed reputable journalists, who are employed by this hack corporation will be standing in a very long line with the other working stiffs filling out the EI form INS5110.

Are we gonna hear everytime the police uses the tasers now?

Is it just me or does it seem like there is always someone waving a knife around in Vancouver? This knife waver got lucky with a little zap but the last one was shot and killed if my memory serves me right?
