| Also note that the boy who was electrocuted now fears for his own safety and is afraid to file a formal complaint against the RCMP. This is a pretty bad situation if you ask me, when members of the public have come to fear the police who are supposedly there to protect them. |

I expect it won't go anywhere, since the feds won't ever prosecute themselves, but it's still a noteworthy story.
