Subject: RE: BS: Canadians taser Polish man in airport
I have alot of questions about this incident.

Why would any airport allow anyone to 'languish' in the arrival area for 10 hours? Are there no services for people who need a translator? Its supposed to be an International Airport! The mother was there to pick him up but couldn't find him and nobody helped her either.

When the police were called. It took them about 12 seconds to assess the situation. Not much consultation involved at all. After they taser him and he is obviously in agony, they jump on him. It looks to me like they actually attempt to hurt him by putting so much weight on him. Both legs of one officer came completely off the ground. Wasn't the laser enough restraint?

What cowards. It took a laser and a four big guys to restrain a man who needed help and who did not appear to be a threat to anyone. It boggles the mind that assault occurs on a daily basis with little or no consequences but this is the response to a man who smashes a computer!
