The same week Chicago police tasered a mentally ill 82-year-old woman, Canadian police taser and kill a 40-year-old non-English-speaking Polish immigrant (suspected of double parking), 24 seconds after arriving on the scene. Second link via MeFi.
UPDATE: Correction, I screwed up this post a bit. There were three incidents: the elderly woman who was tasered on Tuesday, the 40-year-old immigrant who was tasered to death on Oct. 26th 24 seconds after the police arrived, and a 68-year-old stroke victim who was tasered yesterday on suspicion of double parking. I apologize for the error.
