Extremely dangerous to be in a society where being in possession of video or photographic evidence of police abuse, is a crime.

People suddenly became Use of Force experts after Dziekanski's death.

What the RCMP did as shown in the video is pretty standard for an arrest to be made. Police didn't show up to have tea with Dziekanski, they were there to make an arrest, possibly for "Mischief under $5000" or "Breach of the Peace". Dziekanski had the choice to put his hands in the back and get cuffed. Instead, he chose to walk away, agitated, with a stapler in his hand. That pretty much rules out a physical take down unless the officers want to have staples jammed in their necks. OC spray is really a hit or miss weapon depending on the subject, the mist-type spray wasn't an option in an enclosed area. The best force option was the taser to generate compliance in order to restrain Dziekanski.

The whole Canadian Use of Force Theory is based on "when the use of a lower level of force is ineffective and the use of a higher level of force is unjustified." The use of taser is considered to be a low level use of force, lower than the intermediate weapons such as baton.

Things to think about: When you go to Poland, get stuck/detained at the airport for over 10 hours, and no one at the airport speaks a word of English, are you going to throw things around? Are you going to walk away with a stapler in your hand when the uniformed officers are trying to arrest you? And are you going to resist arrest?

Personally, I think it's unfortunate that Dziekanski lost his life over this incident when the taser is meant to save lives.

the inquiry today that they showed on the news was absolutely disgusting, questioning the officers integrity and the whole story was posed like they were in the wrong

I'm going to take my camera and record 2 different little spots from COPS i watched today

in one an asian man who was 20 years old, who couldnt have been more then 150lb's was behind a glass little patio door and the cops just wanted to talk to him, he was saying get out, why are u in my home? bla bla bla, he then tried to shut the glass door and when he did the cop kicked it down and tazered him like no tommarow, no warning given, no questions asked

i think it's an absolute joke this inquiry is even going on, and if there was no video tape of the incident, this would never be happening

again ill say it, fuck Dziekanski and fuck his dumb ass cunt mother.

lol at least hav some respect man

well arent u glad it was on video tape to show the misuse of police force..
imagine the number of incidents that occur like this
