NEWS TORTURE in the streets, places of assembly and neighbourhoods of Canada

Leaders need a serious reality check - It is the duty of our public servants and elected representatives to do the greatest good for the greatest number of people over the longest period of time.

Cast your vote in the next election by the measure of what our political managers and public servants actually do. Our actions are our final decisions.

Police STATE – The growing use of torture in the streets of Canada. Punishment before trial and due process!

Society's prime gift to man is security. Punishment by burning alive was once a common practice. Are Taser guns a modern form of burning at the stake? A reversal of justice, fairness, kindness, patience, and perhaps even a betrayal of mercy, not to mention the suspension of habeas corpus and for those who are murdered by these weapons, a denial of a fair trial before punishment is administered for wrongdoing?

When rights are old beyond knowledge of origin, they are often called natural rights. But human rights are not really natural; they are entirely social. They are relative and ever changing, being no more than the rules of the game -- recognized adjustments of relations governing the ever-changing phenomena of human competition. The question I am placing before the Canadian family is: What justification could possibly be used by all those who condone the use of tasers as a method of policing the streets, places of assembly and the neighborhoods of the Canadian people? Lack of brotherhood is both reprehensible and inexcusable!

Is Canada like our neighbor to the south, retrogressing into a political tyranny and advancing police state? Have we devolved into a country where manslaughter charges apply only to those who work outside of the protective institutions of a government that is increasingly becoming a tyranny to the citizens of Canada while public servants and government leaders escape all punishments for wrong doing? These elected officials and public servants are completely free to exercise politics without principles and power without conscience!

Tasers are now the device used in place of reason in order to immediately secure a suspect or disable an inconvenient person.

The manslaughter of Robert Dziekanski in British Columbia, and the more recent death of Howard Hyde in Nova Scotia, should be deeply disturbing to all Canadians. These are markers of no end of trouble ahead if they are not properly addressed according to the fundamentals of law that must apply to every citizen of Canada with no exceptions. Politicians, policing authorities and regular law enforcement officers are not exempt from the rule of law.

In the parental wisdom of the primary social group of the people, the human family and its institution the family home, when violence breaks loose the issues at hand are quickly addressed with non-violent adjustments to restore the peace. All good parents realize that nothing but troubles loom ahead if this behavior is not immediately resolved and the peace restored to the home.

Likewise, in the local community when trouble with an unthinking and unruly neighbour threatens the peace of the neighbourhood, the members of the community quickly address these disturbances, through the use of tact and tolerance, in order to re-establish the peace. No one, but the unthinking and the unwise, resort to the use of violence, knowing full well the consequence of such unthinking action will result in more and escalating violence until finally the peacemakers of the neighbourhood through non-violent methods and the utilization of the higher moral and ethical applications of tact and tolerance restore the peace.

These applied principles of non-violent resolutions to conflict management must be applied up to and including all those individuals employed by the people of Canada to KEEP THE PEACE and to be a true representation of the will of the Canadian people to seek non-violent resolutions to difficult social problems.

When society fails to punish crimes, group resentment usually asserts itself as lynch law. In the past, the provision of sanctuary was a means of escaping this sudden group anger. Tasers and pepper spray represent the unwillingness of the individual police officer to surrender private redress to the rule of law. The continued use of violent force by officers of the law will regress society to a lynch-mob form of justice. Law-abiding and peace- loving citizens will not tolerate torture in our city streets in the place of a true justice system where every citizen is entitled to be found innocent or guilty in a formal and civilized court of law before social punishment may be administered in accordance with accepted and civilized fundamental law.

As our peace officers grow older in years and more experienced in the affairs of keeping the peace, they should also be becoming more tactful in dealing with troublesome men and women and more tolerant in working with stubborn associates. Tact is the fulcrum of social leverage, and tolerance is the earmark of a great soul. If our officers of the law possess these rare and charming gifts, as the days pass they will become more alert and expert in their worthy efforts to avoid all unnecessary social misunderstandings. Such wise souls are able to avoid much of the trouble which is certain to be the portion of all who suffer from lack of emotional adjustment, those who refuse to grow up, and those who refuse to grow old gracefully.

We, as a people, have recently addressed the problems of bullies in our schools, now we must turn our attention to those who have made it into uniforms and pose as keepers of the peace while in their heart they are unwilling to surrender to the higher calling of peace and good will.
