I want to add something to the taser incident in Vancouver that's being overlooked.

About 7:10 into the video, you can clearly see a cop walk up and use the end of his night stick--- violently hitting towards the ground. You can't see what he is hitting--- but why is he doing it?

Here's the page of the video--- Look to the right and click on the link titled: Video: Taser death caught on video

1. Maybe it was four blows to the head that put him out

Yikes.

2. It looks like he was trying to collapse his collapsible baton to put it back in his belt.

5. That would be correct.

[Evoman]

3. There were witnesses.

We would have heard if the cop had used his baton on the man. Our media in Canada isn't completely fucked up, and they are generally on our side on this it appears.

4. Sickening

Can you imagine his state -couldn't find his mother and didn't speak English. Who exactly are these morons trying to make secure when they're killing passengers.

6. And they wouldn't let his mother meet him, convinced her he

wasn't on the plane so she went home. Surely she spoke enough English to communicate with people at the airport and someone should have tried to help her find her son.
