If the dude didn't die the media and Some of you would not care

ok let me rephrase... your point is besides the point. no one is debating that you can survive a shock from a taser.

"Today, by the count of CBS News, 70 people have died after being TASERed" - CBS News, Oct. 12, 2004

Their is risk from every angle. Some one could have a heart attack from the police tackling them to the ground, or they could break a hip or other bone.

Innocent? He was smashing things and acting aggressively at an international border. That's not only suicidal in most countries, but just idiotic. Not to mention we're talking about a man which I have no clue how was accepted into Canada, due to his criminal record including a 5 year sentence served for armed robbery in Poland.

If the Police had known that they probably would have shot him.

Your point?
"Lets taser him"
"No, that could kill him"
"So what, its possible (although far less likely) that he might die from us tackling him"
"Makes sense.. fry the fucker"

Did he commit any crimes in Canada? No? Well, then I guess he's innocent. He didn't harm anybody, and yeah, he threw a couple things at the ground/wall (probably in frustration.. mentally unstable?), but after 10 hours you'd figure that if he was going to do something dangerous, he'd have done it already.

I don't see how his criminal record and your understanding of how he got accepted into Canada bears any relevance to the situation. Are you telling us that he got what he deserved?

i agree he wasn't totally innocent and was acting aggressively (though not towards anyone). i'm not sure if you watched the video, but the police didn't make much of an attempt to calm him down, probably because they thought it would be easier to taser him. even a bystander attempted to talk to him before the police arrived and she didn't appear to be in any danger. four police officers should have been able to subdue him with their hands easily.

all i'm saying is that there is a problem with their policy regarding when and how to use tasers, because they seem a little trigger-happy. and if i'm ever tasered by the police and stop breathing, i hope they give me CPR like they're trained to instead of just letting me die.

anyway, after reading the last line of your post, i don't expect you to agree with me.

(fascist ;))

So maybe God "told" the cops to Taser Robert, and God took Robert to a better place to prevent him from going amok due to losing money in the future business with his mum, getting into the UN gang and robbing other gangs for their money, women and cheap drugs.

Maybe God prevented Robert from becoming another immigrant turned bad.

Hey, this excuse was used years ago when a BCB underling killed his boss' wife and child. He stated thru interpreters that he was preventing more suffering by the scion of a known gang member.

It can also be applied to the recent murders since Krishna and the 4 guys in the apartments were capped in Surrey. Condolences to the fireplace guy's family and a hm, i wonder to Mohan's surviving family and apologists.
