so how does it go from bean bag rounds to bullets...jesusA 51-year-old man shot by Vancouver police has died of his injuries, officials said late Saturday.
Police responded to a call about a distraught man standing in the intersection of East 41st Avenue and Knight Street with a wooden board and shouting loudly at around 5 p.m. PT, police said.
When officers arrived at the scene, the man refused to comply. Police used non-lethal bean bag rounds in an attempt to subdue the man, but he was eventually shot.
The man was taken to hospital, where he later died of his injuries.
No officers were injured during the incident.
The IIO is investigating, police said.
i wonder how long it would take if someone did dart a person with a mild tranqMaybe the cops should get trank guns instead of tazzers.

Not long. I've seen it with animals. No idea how clothing would affect entry. I think saver than tazzer. Certainly it can be done at a greater distance which would reduce the risk to the cop.
Tonningto might have a better idea on how well it would work.
more training, I don't know what's going on but suddenly pen knives and boards are seen as deadly weapons...but in Parliament a 58 year old man can take down a terrorist without a flak jacket onReally!! Nobody thought of a dose of pepper spray? Before we can reduce crime maybe we have to reduce the # of cops!

Society has allowed this to happen
people join the police forces looking for an excuse to prove they're a hero
and the system back them up, allowing them to kill rather than use common sense .
Noncompliance is now a death sentence.
I wish I was one of them. Being pepper sprayed is nasty.
"Officers deployed less-lethal bean bag rounds....in an attempt to disarm him and take him safely into custody, but eventually the man was shot," he said.
Hey it's a busy intersection he was holding up traffic.
