Sorry if this is a repost but came across this and thought I would share it. In the wake of the Braidwood inquiry into the tasering death of Robert Dziekanski at Vancouver's YVR airport, an incident at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Southern California makes it clear just how easily some police rely on energy weapons to do their jobs. At the festival on April 17, 23-year-old Johnathan Felch of San Luis Obispo, who has since become known around the world as the "Naked Wizard", was collared by police when he removed his clothes.
