The best line is the article is "A taser was then deployed, which successfully redirected the attention of the dog." I'll bet it did.

I don't have an issue with this,
if the officer in question was defending himself against a dog attack, then so be it.

Better than shooting a dog, which they had to do a few years ago.

Agreed. Definitely seems like a better tactic this time around.

I'm just shocked they didn't call it a pitbull (at least not yet).

Probably more humane than pepper spray. And definitely better than giving him lead poisoning.

Do police in Canada have to document heavily when they draw the taser, to the same extent, like they do when they use their sidearm?

You forgot one.

Yup, better to let it live to bite the face off of a three year old next time.

Not sure if it is the same amount as with a gun but yes there is more paperwork involved when a taser is used.

CH would probably have more knowledge on the subject.

Never heard of him. Is that that Jimmy Reed guy who's opening for Old Lady Peas and Ryan Abrams?

From the RPS press release: The use of the CEW has been documented as per policy and will be reviewed by a Use of Force Committee – a committee within the Service. All uses of force are also reported to the Saskatchewan Police Commission – an oversight body independent of the Regina Police Service.
