NORTH VANCOUVER/CKNW(AM980) - A 14 year old girl in possession of some knives was arrested during the noon hour at Lynn Valley Centre.
North Vancouver police constable Randall Wong describes what happened.
"Two members arrived on scene. They found a young female in the fruit isle stabbing fruit and waving the knives around."
Wong says officers tried tasering the girl, but it deflected off her clothing and knapsack.
The girl finally threw the knives at one of the attending officers and she was subdued.
Police are contemplating charges of assault and threatening.
************************
Is this really the best this society can do for a CHILD who is obviously mentally ill. Seriously, a charge of child abuse must be brought against these officers. This is just a shocking abuse of power against this child. It is time for police to be trained in non-abusive ways of working with people with mental health and psychiatric issues and held accountable for their abuse.
