The man was throwing chairs and computers and was causing a disturbance in a security intensive area, all this before he resisted arrest. How are the RCMP to know that he has been there for an extended period of time? Should they magically know this, or should be fluent in every dialect known to man? Facts of the matter are that they can't standby and watch a guy destroy property and they need to act. It is unfortunate what happened to him, but the police acted using the tools that they had been given.
In retrospect they could have waited longer and got a translator in, but that isn't the role of the police, they don't have the manpower to babysit every guy that wants to throw something around, they arrest him and if he resists arrest there is a possibility of using a taser in order to make him compliant with the demands of the officers.
