    Why is this relevant for r/neoliberal?

    This investigation highlights significant shortcomings in state capacity and institutional accountability with regard to the illegal detention of a citizen and the opaque use of force in corrections. It reveals a lack of evidence-based policymaking, with Canadian agencies which are relying on unverified manufacturer claims rather than independent safety data for restraint devices. Furthermore, the bodies like the RCMP’S refusal to track or disclose usage data represents a failure of transparency in governance.

    What do you think people should discuss about it?

    Readers should focus on the regulatory gaps that permit law enforcement to use potentially lethal equipment without standardised training or independent safety audits. The bureaucratic failure that kept the victim detained after a judicial release order is also worth discussing, illustrating how administrative incompetence can have fatal consequences. Finally, consider the tension between ensuring the safety of public servants and protecting the civil liberties and physical well-being of those in state custody.

    Then don’t try to spit at police officers while you have your mouth covered with a piece of cloth. That’s what it is for.

    What is that supposed to do, it is a fn piece of cloth. At what point do you ask inmates not to strangulate themselves with their clothing in their cell? Where is the safety audit for staying alive, since being alive is deadly aswell.
