Video found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHKk5qQRzL4 I am a Polish-Canadian and currently not happy with the actions that have been taken against this man. It is so clear he was scared, he didn't know how to speak english and he was lost looking for his mother. If you notice 07:11 the cop takes his night stick and slams the guy in the head full force with the night stick, this might have been the killing blow. Canada is supposed to be proud of the RCMP yet these greenhorn cops show how under trained they are. The could have simple pepper sprayed the guy, 4 cops 1 scared guy? I wrote a whole letter to RCMP just now telling them I am shocked at their actions, what i think about this whole issue and that i hope proper charges will be laid. I suggest and hope you can also do so. Send a sentence to them, a paragraph anything. This is important and these stupid trigger happy cops should be dealt with. Heres a link to send a message to rcmp: http://www.rcmp.ca/contact/comments_e.htm#headquarters Thanks
I live in Burnaby, and I'm in a damn rage over this. "The RCMP were still trying to calm him down when he slipped into unconsciousness." Since when do you see a man struggling for his life and then falling unconscious within 10 seconds. Damn imbeciles they are. And then they confiscate the video, are sued and lose the video. Boy, did they fuck up bad this time.
Well to me basically it looks like an execution. What you see is him back off away from the cops, then they surround him and executed him literally in the first 25-30 seconds from walking into the room. Also before they even walked into that glass room you can hear a cop ask another one "Can i tazer him?" the other cop simply replies "Yes". I mean what the hell!! they didn't even assess the situation, they already planned to hurt him before even getting there. Also why didn't they perform CPR? They just sat there looking. Our tax dollars are spent to train them to protect us and now this. People should really send letters and opinions to RCMP. Please call this number to give the RCMP a piece of your mind. 1-- 800 -- 420 -- 5805
I watched that clip on CNN I think. That guy posed no threat to them. They were armed and they could have easily restrained him by biding their time. What idiots and a needless death (even murder in my opinion).
I am outrage at this as well. They had no reason to do what they did. The man didn't attack them or threaten to. I mean it was four against one. It wasn't like this guy was superman. They could of simply held him and cuffed him.
Very big thread was already running on this subject http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=558205 Thanks
