The use of a taser has resulted in another death in the hands of the RCMP. This is a pretty significant event in Canadian news right now, as the RCMP have found themselves in hot water too many times recently.
This is just one of hundreds of articles related to this incident. What makes the case quite interesting is that an eyewitness video recorded the entire encounter, which the RCMP had originally confiscated, and now has been released after some legal pressure.

As with any news story, anywhere you go you'll find differing accounts of the situation. For example, some Polish speaking people claim he called for the police, others claim he denied help from anyone. The sound is quite muffled.
