Last March, the Montreal Police Brotherhood said it was open to the idea of having more stun guns at officers' disposal, as long as they weren't seen as a "magic wand."

You can also keep using the Oculus Quest or Quest 2 while they're charging, but you may not have the same freedom of movement while they're connected.

It is a priority for CBC to create products that are accessible to all in Canada including people with visual, hearing, motor and cognitive challenges.

However, a report released in 2013 found that while the use of stun guns can potentially cause fatal respiratory and cardiac complications in some people, those health effects are "extremely rare."

In his report, which was made public in March, the coroner said Montreal police had 75 stun guns at their disposal but only 33 were available to officers at any given time — the others were being repaired or were at the armoury.

Magloire was wielding a hammer and acting aggressively near Montreal's central bus station on Berri Street before he was shot.

From batteries to connecting your phone via bluetooth and asking for help to navigate the way home, your connected car is part of your life. We'll help you figure it all out.

Chief Philippe Pichet says the force made the decision as a result of recommendations from the coroner's inquest into the death of 41-year-old Alain Magloire, a mentally ill homeless man who was fatally shot during a confrontation with police in 2014.

Whether you want to build your own home theater or just learn more about TVs, displays, projectors, and more, we've got you covered.

If you're using the Elite Strap with a battery with your Quest 2, which lets you use it longer before plugging it in, the extra storage will add some time to that figure. But since your Quest 2 will use up the external battery before drawing from the internal one, you could power the extra one up separately partway through your session and still get the total time from your built-in power source.

The coroner who looked into Registre's death wouldn't say the use of the weapon killed him, only that the numerous firings of the device might have played a role in his death.

Guy Ryan, a former Montreal police officer, said 10 stations are equipped with stun guns now, so once the new ones are acquired there will probably be one per station.

Another way to tell if your headset needs charging is by looking at the indicator light on the right side of the device, although it will only offer this information once you plug it in for charging. If the light is red, the battery is low (under 10% remaining). If it's orange, it's charging and has more than 10% of its capacity. Finally, a green light means that the headset has a full charge.

Both the Quest and Quest 2's batteries have about the same capacity: around 3,640 mAh. If you use the included cables, then they should take about the same amount of time to charge; according to the manufacturer, that time is between 2 and 2.5 hours from empty to full.

The Meta (Oculus) Quest and Quest 2 virtual reality headsets both let you play games wirelessly, so you don't have to worry about tripping over cables or feel tethered to a PC. But with that freedom comes a cost: You have to recharge them occasionally. Here's when to know your gear is getting low on power and how long you'll need to wait before you can get back into the game.

Perhaps the most high profile case involving the devices happened in 2007, when Robert Dziekanski died after being Tasered by RCMP officers multiple times at Vancouver International Airport.

Malouin also decried the fact the officers who responded to the Magloire call didn't have stun guns and had to ask for one once they got to the scene. The coroner said police would then have had two opportunities to hit Magloire with a stun gun.

"We intend to increase the number of devices available on the ground," Pichet told Radio-Canada. "We analyzed how many we can give, who we will give them to and how to deploy them in the field."

The brotherhood said it's also in favour of having more money for research, more training and more resources to respond to mental health crises.

Both Quests include a few ways to check their battery levels. The easiest way is inside the user interface: At the bottom of the home menu, you'll see icons showing how much power both the headset and the controllers have.
