Taser Abuse Led to Man's Death

Taser use was not indicated regarding the deceased since he had not threatened any person, not even the cops.

Rather the cops considered him to be a threat, and reacted to a situation in which they were ignorant of him being in that part of the airport for 10 hours.

As well, the airport had no policy to ensure landed immigrants get in contact with their sponsors quickly. Language barriers prevented this, and this makes me wonder why no on thought to contact a member of the Polish community to help the deceased.

So essentially, Canada killed the deceased through its agents, the police, for being hostile and threatening to the State.

Vancouver Airport owes the deceased's mother compensation and the RCMP should apologize and stop pretending it didn't do anything wrong.
