Agreed. The only hope for justice in that case is the civil suit, which has just started.

CBC article here.

This quote is what really pisses me off about these taser incidents causing death:

=====

RCMP spokesman Cpl. Dale Carr said no one can judge what happened to Dziekanski by just watching the video. "It's just one piece of evidence, one person's view."

=====

Bull fucking shit. I'm sick and tired of hearing asshole bureaucrats protect their own when they are so clearly out of line. Especially in grievous situations like this.

Gotta wonder too if he died of asphyxiation with that fucker kneeling on his throat like that. I doubt it will happen, but I sure hope all of them get fucked out of this deal! :evil:

Maybe they should've learned the lesson I learned. It was a hot shot and not a taser. Tasers hadn't been invented when I was a teenager (thank God).

I am sharing way too much with you people, but here it is...

We were loading some cows in a trailer to take them some damn where, anything to work my and my borther's ass off daily. There was one that hesitated just a minute and I took that damn hot shot and just as I was about to shoot that bitch she started shittin like a tied coon. I shot her with that hot shot and she kicked up and swiched that fucking sling shot of a fucking tail and shit hit me full force in the damn face.

Everyone else thought this was about the funniest shit they had seen in their life. i couldn't open my fucking eyes, I couldn't fucking breath I had an inch of cow shit all over my face. I failed to see the fucking humor. They finally quit laughing and walked my to a water hose and washed it off of me.

I do think that it helped my complexion to this day.

So I say... Shit on them and cut off the water!!!

In today's world, you have to know if you get stupid in an airport, you are gonna be in serious trouble. 9/11 changed the world, and the world is still feeling the pain.

I have mixed feelings on tasers, but, in this case those guys should have just taken him down. Of course if they had, they would still be in a criminal or civil suit for excessive use of force. IMO, these guys were in a no win situation, especially with the video being filmed.

They tasered him 25 seconds after arriving on the scene. They didn't even attempt to diffuse the situation. That is an unacceptable use of deadly force.

To "serve and protect" my ass.

RAM, these guys didn't know they were being video taped...they took the easy way out....all but guaranteeing their own saftey at the parrel of this innocent man....the RCMP have a reputation up here, and it has been tarnished GREATLY in the last year.

They have had a history of investigating themselves, it's a joke. The guy was unarmed...they have become all to comfortable with doing whatever the fuck they want, and getting away with it....to the point of murder, in a case that has been well documented over the last few months.

....I have had a few runnins with the RCMP....they are a different breed a different mentality then your municiple cops....

Cops have a tuff job, no doubt, but they also have a higher duty of care then the avg citizen...and in this case they absolutely did not exercise that duty of care
