Taser Killing in Vancouver Airport

An eyewitness's video recording of a man dying after being stunned with a Taser by police on Oct. 14 at Vancouver International Airport has been released to the public.

The 10-minute video recording clearly shows four RCMP officers talking to Robert Dziekanski while he is standing with his back to a counter and with his arms lowered by his sides, but his hands are not visible.

About 25 seconds after police enter the secure area where he is, there is a loud crack that sounds like a Taser shot, followed by Dziekanski screaming and convulsing as he stumbles and falls to the floor.

Another loud crack can be heard as an officer appears to fire one more Taser shot into Dziekanski.

As the officers kneel on top of Dziekanski and handcuff him, he continues to scream and convulse on the floor.

One officer is heard to say, "Hit him again. Hit him again," and there is another loud cracking sound.

Police have said only two Taser shots were fired, but a witness said she heard up to four Taser shots.

A minute and half after the first Taser shot was fired Dziekanski stops moaning and convulsing and becomes still and silent.

Shortly after, the officers appear to be checking his condition and one officer is heard to say, "code red."

The video ends shortly after.

Minutes later, ambulance attendants arrived but their efforts to revive Dziekanski were unsuccessful and he was declared dead.

Another case of excessive force used by the police. This thing happened more than a month ago and we're only hearing about it now. It's pretty depressing. :(

this is why the law wont work, because the law since the dawn of day has always been the most illegal and corrupt part of the world

fuck the police

much too excessive...he was unarmed...wow

NWA had it right when they said FUCK THA POLICE!


They had a right to take him down, the guy looked like he had mental health problems or was agitated about something. But they killed him.. Nicely done police, nicely done.

They're fucking dispicable. No one will be charged with his murder, their negligent actions have lost a man his life. Another brilliant job well done, by the brilliant police. Aren't they fucking brilliant? Just hand cuff him you fools, they're so scared they have to rely on tasers to do their work for them. Use your hands you pansies.
