And his actions during the film, to me anyways, look more like the actions of a hardcore tweaker than a confused and aggravated tourist. As a result, he went in to cardiac arrest with the taser. I'm guessing he croaked because his heart was already racing from the trip he was on, and the added excitement was too much work.

Horrifying, regardless.

The coroner found no drugs or alcohol in his system and he wasnt missing any medication. according to the last report I heard

they just zapped him to death

Well, if he didn't flip out from drugs, and he didn't flip out from health conditions, then he was obviously a terrorist and needed to be dealt with anyway. :P

The video makes it pretty clear that they didn't taser him for no reason at all...

I would be pretty irate too, to be detained for so long.

if I have to wait at walmart for more than 20 minutes I get fidgety I cant image what I'd do at an airport in a new country with nobody speaking my language.

that guy died for no good reason.
they could have just rushed and cuffed him

they considered this the Less than Lethal approach....?

It's ridiculous plain and simple. Those police officers should be charged with manslaughter at the MINIMUM.

OMG, have you read all my posts? I think it's pretty ****** that they tasered the guy. I think it's even shittier that he died. But you can't act like that and not expect people to take action. Whether the action taken is justified is a whole other story...

omg yes, I read your posts,and most of your opinions which I thought
were based on the fact you were sure he was tweaked, well.....he wasnt.

and he wasnt making terroristic threats, and he dint have a weapon.

and he doesnt fit any type of profile for a terrorist..call it racist call it what you want but polish white guys dont blow **** up.
noether do hispanics or asians or Blacks...only one race of people fit the terrorist profile.


theres about 101 ways to handle this other than resorting to any type of lethal force.

no exscuse for this, none whatso ever..there is no way to justify this at all unless the
guy was actually a threat and wielding a weapon...knife..handgun..grenade etc etc..not a tv monitor


it was murder and should be treated as murder.

Don't tase me, bro!

Sorry, it had to be said.

The terrorist remark was a joke, because you seem to be saying that you should be able to flip out in an airport and be given a cookie. This guy's actions were not appropriate and demanded action. Bottom line. If he would have pulled that **** in the US, he was more likely to be shot.
