Eye-Witness States Polish man was calm

Expert states Taser was Unecessary

I've been following this story from the beginning and it's tragic. Mr. Dziekanski came all the way from Poland to Vancouver, BC Canada to visit his mother. He was stuck in the terminal for 10 hours. He did not speak English at all. Mr. Dziekanski threw a few chairs and broke a computer monitor.

Security could not handle him so the police were called. Once the police showed up, Mr. Dziekanski calmed down, raised his hands showing that he submits. The police surrounded him, tasered him and three of them constrained him. One had his knee pressed on his neck (from what I could see) and it looks like Mr. Dziekanski took an unecessary beating after he was tasered. Mr. Dziekanski died after the taser and take-down.

There are several people up in arms here and I can understand. It can be argued that the police used excessive force and could have physically restrained him.

It can be argued that the police were protecting themselves, as well as the citizens around them from a potentially dangerous situation.

I have a few questions of my own. Was the taser necessary? The knee in the neck, is that necessary?

I'm certain the police must have a lot of training/education regarding the physical aspects of tasering a person.

This situation has upset me since day 1. What do you think 2p2?
