The Taser Video
It appears that this won't be going away anytime soon.
Canada's ambassador to Poland has been invited to sit down with Polish officials in Warsaw on Monday to discuss the death of Robert Dziekanski after he was stunned by an RCMP Taser at Vancouver International Airport.
Which I believe is diplomatic-speak for, "reaming you a new asshole for killing one of our citizens". Certainly would be nice if our government cared that much about Canadian lives.
Many Poles view it as a case of excessive force by police using a weapon that may be unsafe, Piotr Ogrodzinski, the Polish ambassador to Canada, said in Ottawa on Thursday
Judging from the comments on seeing the video, I'd say most Canadians feel the same way. Maybe now that it's turning into an international incident, we might see some serious review of police tactics.
Not that I'm too hopeful.
