Murder by tazer
Again. This man DID NOT need to be tazered. Watch the video. Manslaughter charges better follow.

1. And the cops have, as usual, repeatedly LIED:
SNIP:
Police have said repeatedly that there were
only three RCMP officers involved in the incident,
but the video shows four men in RCMP uniforms.

SNIP:
RCMP officers have also said police did not use pepper spray
because of the large number of people at the airport at the time.
But the video shows Dziekanski standing alone with the four officers
in an otherwise empty area, which is separated from the public area
by a thick glass wall.

SNIP:
Paul Pritchard shot the video with his digital camera,
but afterward he surrendered it to police for their investigation
on a promise that they would return it within 48 hours.

The next day, police told Pritchard they would not be returning the recording as promised.

what is this world coming to? Pretty soon Europeans and others are going to say fuck North America visiting altogether! I got a nice little piece of paper with my ticket to fly home this coming week, if I were European I would have to fill it in, it's a TSA requirement, no filly, no fly-ey. Everyone is a terrorist :shrug:

Edit, I know, they just want to keep us out because they're afraid we might buy up the country, with our Euros. LOL.

4. This is fucking unreal.
I just couldn't believe when I saw the story.

This man did not need to be tazered, let alone tazered twice.

5. I was so furious at that story.
I mean come on!! They had that fucking spokesman who had the gall to say that the camera was "just one point of view".

"Who are you going to believe? Me or your lying eyes".

Fuckers.
