Meanwhile his mother asked 3 times to check if he had arrived, yet somehow no one ever found him - find that hard to believe, so she ended up going back home to Kamloops.

Now we have the situation with the RCMP. The man is confused, probably tired, hungry, and most likely frustrated by the whole incident. He's in a forgien country and probably scared by this point in time. Bingo along comes the RCMP.

You ask how are we supposed to know he doesn't speak english or did they have time. In the video people are telling the RCMP to get an interpreter. Chances are those people heard the man talking/shouting before the RCMP arrived. Second of all he wasn't fighting or threatening anyone. They took they easy way out and tasered him. He's dead and those RCMP officers will have to liove with that.

If you ask me the airport screwed up big time. Mother tells them where he's supposed to be and to check for him. Frankly I don't think anyone looked very hard. Took the easy way out and told the mother he wasn't there. She could have defused the whole friggin situation.
The guy was in an airport (should i point out post 911?) destroying property ... (chairs..computer equipment)..Poland isnt some backward country where if you pulled that off in the airport there, you wouldnt expect the police to show up...stressed or not he should realize there was going to be consequences for his actions, especially if he doesnt accommodate ..
