And before that, none did. Does that mean the people who are resisting arrest have changed, like the guy who violently, viciously kept hold of a rail? Not according to the article: the methods of dealing with resistance have changed. Why?
Tricky, still want want to know why you think simple restraint is a failure.

For a big city like Vancouver, that seems low and I certainly don't expect they simply shot the other 80 offenders.

Ten times in 18 months, where no times in dozens of years before, seems a low increase? Granted, it's not 1000 times, but how much of a change is it to go from "we don't use electronic weapons on people" to "we'll use electronic weapons as a first resort against resistance"?
