At an international airport, how come there is not ONE Polish speaking interpreter in 6 hours that he was stuck at baggage claim?! That is absolutely ridiculous. Embarassing for the Vancouver Airport first of all.

Everyone seems to jump on the cause of death from the Taser. Why is that? A taser was used != a taser killed the guy. To be honest, it looked more like the dogpile on top of the guy killed him. I don't know much about tasers and their effects, but if what other posters saying about it having zero after effects are true, it might have been him being caught in an awkward position in the dogpile - so he was trying to struggle to get out from it, and obviously the RCMP wouldn't let him get out. Why is the taser so maligned? Would it have been any different if the 4 cops punched him in the face, or broke his arm when performing an submission manuveur, or used batons? They NEED to have some kind of lee-way in situations like this. They can't be second guessing their choices when in a lot of cases, a decision can be the difference between life and death of not only themselves, but other innocent people.

WTF with the media having sensationalist headlines like "Man killed by taser surrendering when hit". How can they just jump to not one but TWO conclusions in one headline?

I personally agree with the police in this case. He made aggressive movements towards other passengers, and he needed to be dealt with. However, I still think the blame should be placed on the airport for not being able to defuse the situation before it escalated.
