POLISH TOURIST TASERED TO DEATH IN CANADA [+] serious ballot by patch22us created Fri Nov 16, 07 The shocking death of a Polish traveler who was confronted by policemen with stun guns at the Vancouver airport last month has shamed Canada and its federal police, editorials said Friday. A bystander's video released late Wednesday showed Robert Dziekanski dying after a bizarre series of events that culminated in police approaching him on October 14 and, in less than one minute, zapping him repeatedly with a Taser stun gun. The 40-year-old immigrant had traveled to Canada to live with his mother. His videotaped death "is a source of shame and disgrace for Canada and for its national police force," the daily Globe and Mail said in an editorial. "The killing of Robert Dziekanski will be seen only one way: as a summary execution of an innocent man for the crime of being disoriented, for not understanding, for being a stranger." "As this video makes its way around the world, Canada's reputation is deservedly tarnished. This is no way to run an airport or a police force," echoed the Montreal Gazette. The video shows Dziekanski, appearing distraught and frightened, moving around furniture in the airport and at one point throwing a computer off a desk onto the ground. He is watched by security guards who stand back and can be heard saying, "he's speaking Russian." Then four officers from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), Canada's national police force, enter the frame. They walk toward Dziekanski and surround him. He turns away from them, raising his hands with his back to them. It seems to me, this kind of Police state action is happening all over the wold now. Do you worry that we are entering into an era of opression, repression and eradication of our rights? Yes, I fear we are ALL entering that phase I am not worried at all Who needs opression when poor traing and bad judgement will do the job Ballot #119349 : SEE RESULTS Comment: show your vote with comment?
