Quote by: Praxius Now Ruksak back to you being ignorant on the information:
1st - He was stuck in the airpot for over 10 hours (TEN HOURS)
2nd - Nobody employed at the airport spoke his language nor did anybody seem to want to help him until a bystander attempted to communicate with him.
3rd - Nobody there who witnessed this felt as if they were threatened by him, and eye witnesses stated he looked extremely tired and frustrated..... and who wouldn't be, being stuck in an airpot for 10 hours with no end in sight? I imagine I'd go a little bonkers too.
4th - Employees at the airport told his mother that he never arrived, so she went home.... all the while this was happening.
5th - This isn't just pinned on the RCMP officers due to their actions, but I feel some responsibility should fall on officials at the airport as well for not dealing with this matter properly before this all occured with the officers. |

You are more ignorant on the situation then you realize.

ORLY?
I am attacking peoples ignorance of the taser, how it is applied and how it leads to death.
Do you know what "
Excitement Delirium" is? This is the cause of this mans death in this case. Police need to recognize when people are suffering from this phenomenon.
The American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology - Abstract: Volume 20(2) June 1999 p 120-127 Cocaine-Associated Rhabdomyolysis and Excited Delirium: Different Stages of the Same Syndrome. Excited delirium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia NPR : Tasers Implicated in Excited Delirium Deaths
Excited delirium can occur in people that have had no drugs at all. Actually simulating syptoms of a cocaine overdose
700,000 applications of the taser here in America. Only approximately 100 deaths can be connected with the taser.
Field Use and Statistics
Lots of useful nuggets in there.
Here's something else for you to chew on Prax my boy. We can get rid of the taser altogether. But that will do NOTHING to lower instances of suspects violently and physically confronting the cops. The cops will have to use other less safe means of confrontation. Many times they will have to draw their guns and fire. Fact: A cop can disarm and dissolve a knife wielding crackhead with a taser and not get hurt. Fact: Take the taser away and the cop will use his gun 100% of the time in this instance.
