The video is quite good and certainly answers a few questions for me.

1) As I stated earilier, the guy was clearly, clearly in a SERIOUS state of distress- sweating, panting, smashing inanimate objects - way beyond normal anger (excited delerium, although don't a recognized psychological diagnosis certainly fits the bill here).

2) Someone mentioned the use of an interpreter. Although a possibility, the people on the video thought he spoke Russian when after the fact, it was deemed he spoke Polish. I am not sure police could wait around, while this guy continued his rampage, while

3) Discussion of the taser before entering, as one witness pointed out, isn't out of the ordinary. I wouldn't think discussion of tactics before entering a scene would be completely outrageous.

4) The witness said she didn't feel threatened. I wouldn't either with a large glass barrier between us.

5) Some stated that he gave up before he was tasered. I guess I perceive it quite different. Based on his movements, I would say he was still quite agitated and most certainly wasn't raising his hands to give up at the point he was tasered. I would say, although his back is to the camera, he appeared quite standoffish. He continued to fight on the ground after being tased (keep in mind there is no lasting effects of a taser).

6) What I am VERY disturbed by is the lack of care post tase. It would have been clear that he needed medical attention and it appears none was offered. I would think these RCMP officers are well trained on recognizing symptoms, especially after a tazing, of someone having an adverse reaction. Medical care and proper position of the guy should have been first and foremost on their minds. So in that sense, the officers should be held accountable.
