Another Taser Death

Or, Another example of Canada's finest at their finest.
Near the end of the clip, one of the officers takes his club and uses the end of it on Dziekanski. Nice one guys.






It seems that the police are particularly jumpy in Vancouver. This taser death is not an isolated event. There is a long history of perceived police brutality in Vancouver, both with the RCMP and the local police force going back to the pepper spraying incidents at APEC to the more recent police shooting on Granville Street at 16th.

So I guess you have to be orderly and speak English while in Canada, because the police have no problem killing you in public.

post-script:
How the hell is Vancouver going to manage the Olympics?
Can you say "Police State"?
