		<description>It was not his fault that he died, however, if you see cops, and they are coming at you, you STOP MOVING, STOP YELLING, STOP BEING CRAZY. No matter what the situation is, no matter how long you have been in the airport, it DOESNT MATTER. You do not go against the police.

Now, noone likes to see anyone die. It&#039;s sad for him and his family. Alas, he made a fatal mistake, and that was to play with fire (in this case, the cops).

Police will never stop brutalizing people, its the nature of law enforcement. There are so many crazy people out there. There are many crazy people who kill cops, who kill others. Not every situation can be scrutinized in retrospect the way we all our doing now. That man should have stood still and quiet until the cops did not see him as a threat anymore.

Why was he throwing computers? Is he mentally handicapped? I mean honestly. No matter how upset I get, I never start throwing things. That man made a huge mistake.

Everyone is so quick to judge the police. They used excessive force, YES, but the man is the one who triggered this situation in the first place, and he lost his life for it!</description>

		<description>I am not a cop but I am a front line emergance worker. My stress at work comes from medical emergances. Just imagine trying revive an 2yr old. Nearly all psychologist are in agreement on the fact that interperson conflict is significantly more stressfull on the body than what I have just mentioned. To believe a stressfull emergance situation is simple is very foolish. To believe a hostile emergance situation is simple is even more foolish. Just follow the text book and everything will be fine! That does not work in the real world. It does not work in real time. Imagine receiving these call details: emotionaly disturbed person, in secure room at the airport, throughing chairs around. Police are like eveyone in this world, at the end of the day they want to go home to their family&#039;s, kiss their wife and pick up their kids. The safist option is always to talk the situation down. Unfortunately that was not an option because the man did not speak english. At the time the police did not have the option of an interpreter. No one could say how long it would have been before one could have arrived. So then the moment to make a choice has arrived. Put an end to this very quickly or not. At the time of the arrest the situation had been in favor of the police. Some say at the time of the arrest the suspect had been surrendering. He was not, he was walking away. To where I have no idea. Perhaps he was going to look for a bathroom, wash his face and calm down, or he was going to pick up an other chair and through it at the police, or he was going to pull a knife and take hostage. Really who knows. The point is the police had the upper hand, it would have been foolish to give that away to a crazy person. Leathal force was out of the question, so the officers choose a non leathal weapon, the tazer. That is how it is classified and that is what they are taught. Sure they could have tackled him. Four on one may seem like alot to anyone who has never had to fight with a psychological patient or someone freaking out on drugs, but believe me it is not. At least on of those officers would have been hurt attemping to arrest this man. So they choose their safety before some guy at the airport who obviously had been crazy. No officer was kicked, had been hit by a chair, or had been punch. Not mentioning what could have happened if he would have had a knife in his pocket. The officers had no way of knowing. So the ended it quickly rather than let the situation get further out of control. Things always could go better when shit hits the fan but you do the best you can with the information and resources you have at the time. At the end of the day you go home and live with you choices. Hopefully every one goes home safely. If that does not happen, then hopefully you go home safely. I would not risk my body, my health, or my ability to pick up my kids for some crazy guy who may or may not kill me if given the chance. I would take the safist option, the option safist for ME. Think I am selfish? I save lives daily. I can not do that if I am injuried or dead. Minimize your risks always. In this case taz him and go home safe. Rather than take an unnecessary risk and go home injuried.</description>

		<description>Police brutality at airports is out of control! This is similar to the police beating of the girl at Reagan National Airport in DC except she suffered brain damage and is still alive. My thoughts and prayers go out to Robert Dziekanski&#039;s family.</description>

		<description>I think that its a disgrace and an emabrressment that the RCMP had to use four men to take down one man, I mean do 4 GROWN men really find a chair or table threatening and dangerous? Its a disgrace of police brutality, and could have been handled with more professional alternatives that probbably not have resulted in death!! The man was probably suffering from Hig anxiety which very possibly could have been shocked more from the taser, yes we are only basing mostof our opinions form this one video, but it seems pretty clear that the force and methods used were absolutely unnecessary and ridiculous! 4 against one man that has been held for 10 hours that does not speak english is the low of lows!  I feel sorry for this mans mother, family, because to you mr officers he may just be on human being in the world, but to others he is probably, a son, a father, a brother, and becasue of YOU people he is nothing now! I hope that the saying is true &quot; WHAT GOES AROUND , COMES AROUND&quot;</description>

		<description>I have been tazed.  It is a terrible feeling... but it is not deadly by any means.  The taser is designed so that it will not even affect a pace maker.  All it does is over-ride the synaptic impulses.  Some officer will tell you that it is a horrible pain while others will tell you that it is the instant fear of being &quot;out of control&quot; that causes a fearful fright that is interpreted as pain.  The &quot;pain&quot; instantly ends when the shock stops... with no after effect.

Death occurs if the individual&#039;s heart is overloaded with drugs or chemicals.  In this case, the fight continues long after the tazing is over.  Clearly this is a case of the individual exerting himself into a deadly strain due to something completely unrelated to the tazing... even though that condition caused him to be tazed.</description>

		<description>I believe this is utterly the most enraged i have been in a long time. There was no need for the protocol they chose instead of what they are trained to do. These police officers in the video should be NOT only fired from the department but locked in prison for murder, but OH i forgot of course, the canadian government and the RCMP are all just one big group who will support eachother in whatever they may do! This is ridiculous, i have family in Poland and even though this is not just about ONE citizen from ONE country, im sure they would be frightened to come and visit us here in Canada now, and i would be scared for them to come here! It was clearly a miss understanding for both him and his mother since she waited at one end while he was locked in another for TEN HOURS??? like why so long? i wanna know WHY they were holding him? AND DO NOT tell me that the Vancouver International AIrport did not have ONE person in the entire place who spoke polish!! Dont u think since it is a &quot;international&quot; airport there should be one person for each language spoken to translate for immigrants! I DO! Just as well, especially polish considering next to Toronto and Edmonton , Vancouver has the 3rd largest population of Polish people in Canada! There is only one word to describe the video...DISGUSTING! and a few i could come up with to say to those officers! I feel saddeneed for him and his mother and pray something liek this doesnt happen again anytime soon in our &quot;peaceful&quot; country! Canadians and Americans have to understand that people coming from anywhere else in the world are scared of police. To them, in their countrys police are the enemy..well when they come here..they think the same..although they have heard our police &quot;serve and protect&quot; they are in disbelief because of what happens over there! This man was clearly happy to see the police and all they needed to do was shake his hand and say &quot;we come in peace&quot; but noooooo again they are &quot;trigger/tazer&quot; happy and &quot;had no other choice&quot; ...IDIOTS! 
Personally, i do not believe tazers should be banned but do believe they should be more careful of who comes onto the force. It seems to me every new addition to the police forces in Canada gets worse and worse!

Thanks! :)</description>

		<description>I understand that Canada has as it&#039;s Minister of National Security one Stockwell Day, a man that proclaims a Jewish carpenter who purportedly lived some 2000 years ago is in complete and total control of the universe and all it contains.  Scary stuff...</description>

		<description>DRG, How about this .....
&quot;Man, killed in Bostwana by local police with spears and arrows that had poison darts on them.

		<description>Oh come on John. it was 4 people against 1. I am not saying they were hitting him, but kneeling on him with one knee on his neck isn&#039;t CPR. If 4 cops were to try and bring him down they could, without using a tazer. I have a military background so don&#039;t tell me if my wife worries about it being my last day. You come home every night. Have you been away from duty for 2 yrs? Have you ever come back home to find that your kids have grown up so much. Have you ever cried for them? 
Its like a salmon asking a shark if they know how fast the water flows. 
The RMCP lied saying that he attacked them and then retracted the statement once the video cam out. Know YOUR facts buddy. 
And DRG, if you were left alone without for 10 hrs without anyone telling you for what, you&#039;d be in the same situation bud. 
I have a lot of respect for folks in the armed forces and cops because people take us for granted . There is however a difference in continuing to support them like you are , even when they are wrong. Take the Abu Garibh for example - that was necessary too??</description>

		<description>Sam, if you read the complete arcticle you posted you will see that the man was still alive and continued to struggle with police after being tazed. Tazers have never been proven as being the cause of death in any case.  Tazers are not a cure all for every situation. I have had to fight many suspects into hand cuffs.  Without the tazer my only options have been peper spray, baton or firearm.  The tazer has proven to be a safe and efective alternative to deadly force.</description>

		<description>My statement about the man being on dope was just a guess based on my observation of his actions. This was based on years of experience in dealing with this type of thing.  In reality we are all speculating on what the facts are.  Why are some of you saying the man was being attacked while on the ground?  I only see officers gathering around him. How do you know they are not giving cpr?  On the video I see an officer kneeling on the floor appearing to hit someone? If you look closely he is hitting his expandable baton on the floor in order to retract it and place it back in his belt. How do you know they did not try to communicate with him. There is no audio. Did he brandish a weapon?   In any language or culture, if the police point a weapon at you, even if you believe you are right, you are required to stop whatever you are doing and do what it appears they want you to do.  Most of us cops are reasonable people, we have families who we love and love us. They want us to come home at the end of our shift. Does your wife worry that every day she may be saying good by for the last time as you drive off to work?    Don&#039;t be so quick to judge anyone until you have all the facts.</description>
