Sure, but I think an unforseen 9 hours in customs is sort of an unforseen circumstance.

Whether it was the 9 hours in customs, no medication, or just being generally pissed off, ending up dead is not an acceptable outcome by any means.
It always seems that we are quick to blame the victim for somehow bringing this on to himself. So he raised a laptop at them, probably telling them in Polish to back off. He doesn't know what the hell is going on and now 4 cops are approaching him.
What is almost as disturbing is that I haven`t seen anyone from the RCMP offer some form of apology to the mother. They screwed up. End of Story.
Own up to it, figure out where they went wrong, change some procedures, dicipline someone if necessary, but don`t start by trying to pretend it was somehow justified.
I respect the job the RCMP do, they have some real crap to put up with and I would certainly not want to be in their shoes. But something went south and they need to address it.
