MMR,
I'm not disagreeing with what you're saying or saying the RCMP was wrong. I'm disagreeing with the statement that his behaviour was inexcusable when we don't know the underlying causes that caused the event (e.g. he could have had a hypoglycaemic event leading to the confusion, the stress could have triggered an underlying dementia event, a hypoxic event to the brain, who knows?). He (IMO) appeared to be clearly disorientated. Again, not saying how the RCMP acted was wrong, just an unfortunate outcome.
We simply don't know that his actions were simply malicious and therefore inexcusable.

Yes. That in itself suggests to me he was disorientated and unaware of his surroundings .
