There have been 100's of taser deaths over the past few years. Tasers are anything BUT "non-lethal". THey are slowly turning our police force and now military into sadistic torturers. Most taser incidents are totally unnecessary. This one too. THere are 6 RCMP's for one man. THey could have easily taken him.

Tazers are fucking dangerous, maybe people will start to see that now and maybe the cops will stop using them as if they were fucking waterguns.

Whatever. I think the intent of the officer was to use his tazer. I am a parole officer and I work with some young, gunho officers that cant wait to use a tazer or firearm on someone. I see them regularly provoke the offenders in hopes of a "Hands on" type of confrontation. These guys are asking if they can use theirs before they even get there.

Do you realize the paperwork involved in a police brutality charge? Trust me, it's easier to write up a death certificate.

The fact that this many cops had so much trouble arresting one man without killing him indicates they are undertrained, overarmed, or both. The fact that you feel that the murder of an unarmed citizen, clearly confused, is for the good of the community tells me you are a misguided fuck. Policing is a privelege, a position of public trust. A badge is not a writ to kill without repercussion, and this video is a glaring example of lazy ass police work leading to wrongful death.

Accidents do happen and in this case, it was never the INTENT to kill this man, the INTENT was to stop him from causing any more destruction and or damage to others and himself. Now he won't be bothering anyone anymore. One lesson one can take from this situation is that the world is a safer place without him. I look at the glass as half full.

fuck him. smash stuff and act like a criminal and expect trouble. just because he didnt speak english didnt mean he didnt know any manners. you fucking do gooders make me puke, you and your kind will ruin this world

Let the guy taking the video stop him and let's see what HE would do! If you come to a country then speak the language and/or get a book to look up some words to communicate. No sympathy. I'm tired of going out in public and seeing some nut job making me feel uncomfortable. Got what he deserved.

I'm deeply sorry for my scaring spelling & punctuation. I'd love to see you writing in a foreign language. In my opinion none of those officers had the right to tazer him as he was not armed or the like. (you can't call a chair a weapon) They could have easily tackled him and then he'd still be living. If they were/are scared of broken bones, they're certainly doing the wrong job. Nevertheless, there is no need to become offending as differences in opinion are human. Ta.
