Subject: RE: BS: Canadians taser Polish man in airport
"do the police have the right to shoot to kill someone using illegal drugs?"

BUT, if the reason that the person is killed is because he/she is on illegal drugs ( ie, if not on drugs, the ( justified) use of the tazer would NOT have killed them) is that different? Does the user have any responsibility for his/her use of the illegal drug aggrievating the situation?
