A Manitoba girl picked up for being drunk says she was "held down by four officers, one for each limb, while a taser was used on her legs and groin area." Three times.
They warned her if she didn't stop screaming they would TASER™ again but she couldn't stop screaming.
An internal RCMP investigation has "concluded there was no criminal wrongdoing."
"...the spokesman added that there's no prohibition against using tasers in cells. They are used when officers feel there is a risk to their safety, he said."
A risk to their safety.
A 130 pound 16 year old girl already inside a holding cell is a risk to their safety.
She was drunk, she was resisting arrest, and she admits she was obnoxious and panicking at being locked up : "She says she hit out in anger at the last officer to leave the cell, at which point he called the others back in and they held her down and tasered her."
"The police didn't tell the girl's mother about the incident when she picked her up the next morning, and the girl was too ashamed to tell. As a result, the wounds [on her thighs] became infected."
Following on the heels of the death of another Manitoba First Nations teen, 17 year old Michael Langan, "the family will now proceed with a public complaint against the officers involved."

Four of them holding down a minor in a jail cell to taser her. How is this not assault?
RCMP probe Taser incident involving girl in Inuvik jail
Silly, it's only assault when a civilian does it... [/sarcasm]
"They warned her if she didn't stop screaming they would TASER™ again but she couldn't stop screaming."
And here I'd been thinking "the beatings will continue until morale improves" was just a bitter joke.
It is so terrible!!!, what I think about the monsters like these four in jail , please read on my blog www.RobertDziekanskiFactsOfMurder.blogspot.com
