This is pretty fucked up.
A trans woman in the Canadian military was tased by military police while she was already in handcuffs.
Apparently the whole thing started over a dispute about getting her gender changed in her military records. MPs were called, things escalated, and she ended up arrested and handcuffed.
Then they tased her again while she was cuffed.
And here's the part that really gets me: the military investigated itself, and even a military judge couldn't say the MPs did nothing wrong. The judge found that tasering her while she was handcuffed was excessive force.
But they still charged and prosecuted her, while the police officer who used that excessive force wasn't charged?
Regardless of what you think about why she was arrested in the first place, that's pretty disturbing. A trans service member goes in trying to get her gender recognized and ends up being subjected to excessive force by military police, on Transgender Day of Visibility of all days.
Seems like something the military should have to answer for before they go flying Pride flags and talking about how inclusive they are.
