SPVM: technique rather than taser
The SPVM has decided to teach crisis management to its officers, rather than arming them with more tasers. This is in response to the recent report on racial bias in police behaviour. However, the initial plan to give every cop a taser was in response to the cop-shooting death of Alain Magloire in 2014, which was partly blamed on a lack of other means to subdue him.

One more reason you need cameras and social workers, so they can learn the tactics of TALKING to suspects rather than “subduing” them… which usually seems to be beating them up until unconscious in some cases.
