Batons don't kill people like tasers do.

Batons don't usually kill people because they are used in situations that
call for less than deadly force. If deadly force were warranted they would
use their guns. In a situation which turns from one that justifies use of
a weapon to one that calls for deadly force, a baton can be directed at a
part of the body that could make it deadly.

The central nervous system will
not react the same way as 50,000 volts does if hit with a baton. It's
not about pain but the effects. He should never been hit with a baton
nor tasered.

Lots of people get tasered, including police being undergoing taser
training, and suffer only a short jolt of extreme and debilitating
discomfort.

According to your logic, it's acceptable to use whatever force is
necessary as long as if there is nothing in the rule book to say
otherwise or the RCMP's

That is not even close to what I said.

Incident Management policy which states:

"RCMP members are thoroughly trained in its application, and know that
preference is always weighted toward the least intrusive approach
possible in handling an incident." Didn't seem like the least intrusive
approach to me.

The victim was not compliant. Normally, they would have arrived on the
scene and escorted the man away. If he resisted, he would be subdued and
handcuffed and let away. The man resisted, was tasered and even after
being tased he struggled violently.

Of course, since you are "trained" in the use of the baton, you will
stick by the cops
and whatever action they take even if it is manslaughter or murder.

Not true. Because I was trained I think that they attempted to subdue the
man exactly the way they are trained to. I saw no excessive force, only the
unfortunate result, one of the very few incidents where a taser, a tool
designed to temporarily disable a person, proved fatal.

This all smells of a cover-up, especially with the different version of
events that the police and the tape show. At least we have a video tape.

You must have a bad cold if it smells like a cover-up. It happened in a
public place. It has been in all the newspapers. The video was released
to the public. That doesn't happen in a cover-up
