I'm no fan of the CPS, but cases like this one absolutely sicken me. A ranting maniac comes into a foreign country throwing chairs, computers, tables,etc., and the cops are getting crapped on for using tasers. The man got exactly what he was asking for (not that he should have died over it, but he deserved every tase he got). He could have seriously injured a cop, and was definitely an immediate threat to their safety. In most of the countries in the world, this man would have been shot dead without so much as a blink of an eye from law enforcement if he pulled that crap at an airport.
The language excuse is crap too. I've been to several other countries that don't speak my language, but I know how to act, and if confronted by local authority i'd damn back down and be calm regardless if I didn't understand what they were saying.
Any enquiry into this is nothing but a waste of my tax dollars.
