Video footage has been released in Canada showing the last moments of an immigrant who died after being stunned with a Taser by police.
Robert Dziekanski, 40, of Pieszyce, Poland, was restrained by police after becoming agitated at Vancouver International Airport on 14 October.
Mr Dziekanski, who spoke no English, was declared dead at the scene by an emergency medical team.
The incident is being investigated by police, the airport and the coroner.
Police spokesman Cpl Dale Carr said the video was just one piece of evidence, and urged people to wait for the results of the inquest.
Mr Dziekanski, a construction worker, was emigrating to Canada to join his mother, who lived in the western province of British Colombia.
The incident has prompted a debate about the use of Taser stun guns by police in Canada.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation says up to 18 people have died after being stunned by a Taser in Canada since 2003.
Screams
The video was shot by Canadian traveller Paul Pritchard and handed over to police, and has only just been returned to him.
It starts before the police arrive, with Mr Dziekanski seen through a glass wall in a customs area. He appears agitated, sweating and breathing heavily. Airport security officials and passengers watch from the other side.
Having landed 10 hours earlier, he is seen pacing back and forth through an automatic door, standing briefly in the doorway with a small folding table, and then later with a chair.
At one point, he takes what looks like a laptop computer off a counter and throws it to the ground, and then throws the small table against the glass wall.
Four policemen then walk into view. They walk through the glass doors towards Mr Dziekanski, who turns his back on them. Witnesses say he appeared to pick up a stapler.
Seconds later, Mr Dziekanski is stunned by a Taser and falls down screaming and convulsing.
He is stunned a second time, and then the police officers restrain him on the floor. Mr Dziekanski's screams die down, and he is seen lying still.
A voice is heard saying "code red", which is code for a medical emergency.
An autopsy found no sign of drugs or alcohol in Mr Dziekanski's system, and failed to pinpoint the cause of death.
Airport mix-up
Walter Kosteckyj, the victim's family lawyer, said Mr Dziekanski's mother had seen portions of the video and had approved its release to the public.
"She had a son in distress, he was looking for help, he was frightened, and he didn't get that help," Mr Kosteckyj said.
He said he was disturbed by the video because Mr Dziekanski was not violent.
"I was expecting to see a confrontation, a discussion and things go sideways, then the tasering... That's not what you see," he said.
Mr Dziekanski, who had not flown before, had boarded a plane a day earlier in Germany, and arranged to meet his mother at the baggage carousel in the international terminal.
Neither of them knew the baggage carousel was inside a secure area, with no view of the public arrivals hall area, except for a short distance through sliding glass doors, Mr Kosteckyj said.
No airport, customs or security employees at the airport apparently tried to help either of them, he added.
Eventually Mr Dziekanski emerged into the publi
c area, but his mother had left after six hours and Mr Dziekanski apparently panicked, the lawyer said.
WTF was that officer doing to him with his baton???
Did you see that towards the end???

"Money" has no value - people do.
Keep fucking around like the Yanks and you will BE dealt a savage blow. Living like the afraid and cowardly jack boots from down south with there heaps of fear about EVERYONE and not respecting the public (All persons) like they should be is going to STOP.
The TASER is a pussyies weapon and it KILLS. Mounties killing a emotionally disturbed person like this is a SERIOUS black mark upon all Canadian police. F%^$ing SERIOUS!
My respect for the Mountie is SERIOUSLY in doubt after they cut down a EDP instead of getting a potential black eye or perhaps a few scrapes subduing a SINGLE man the right and safe way cops have been doing for MANY years BEFORE the TASER was a common weapon.
The Mountie is on thin ice.
The Mountie is going to have to fix this PROBLEM of fear they have going on.
FEAR is not a reason to kill.
Why so much FEAR of us Mr Cop?
Do you have some reason to fear us ALL? or do you just LIKE the power of wielding the power of the TASER DANCE?
Sad times.
First you take D.C. Then you take New York (:
Israel steals holocaust survivors' money, now wants Germany to pay more
Look at the cop deliver the lethal blows with the baton at 8:25 of the video. They murdered this fellow and are trying to cover it up as a tazer death. The whole crew is guilty.
If you ever witness something like this on video, hide the camera or immediately email the file to another account. I'm surprised this vid ever saw the light of day.
Shame on Canada for this.
'You know you are doing well when Zionists and their alike are desperately trying to silence you'
Yes! I saw it!
Even my five year old nephew re-enacted that part of the scene, after seeing the video only once!

Shame indeed!
Having been on the street for a time around 2000 i had PLENTY of encounters with this Sick and demented cop and there ilk.
I say the RCMP had better GET it's Fracking SHIT in a diaper.
And WHO TRAINS these cops to do this shit? Mossad? CIA? Shit i cannot tell you how much tougher this bunches job is going to become with this running through EVERYONES head when they are talking to the Mountie from now on..
Stepped into a dark new place the RCMP did with this.
Thank god the man had the video else this crime may have been unnoticed.
RCMP YOU are on NOTICE
THINGS MUST CHANGE. NOW.

Truth Seeker-- Get ready fellow slumberers' this is the police state coming soon to a town near you..We absolutely need a new revolution before most people are thrown into the dozens of fema concentration camps built at US taxpayer expense..
..Robert was obviously distraught, and having an acute anxiety attack!
..Does anyone here know Polish? i'd bet he's asking where the international baggage area is! he was lost and late in a foreign land, waiting TEN HOURS and nobody bothered to actually HELP THIS MAN!! SHAME.
..I know first hand about those cowards with their laser-pointer hat-pin shooters, when you see them like fireflies on the wall, the first thing that goes through your head will be OMG THEY'RE GONNA KILL ME!
..could you imagine being shot with more than one at a time? say two or three? that's what i was thinking, move reeal slow because heart damage is a bitch!
..and BTW, you guys - the PIG at the end is just smashing down his asp, a retractable baton.
..Robert Dziekanski likely died of a heart attack, after the cowards shocked him twice!!!
..I'd bet there no freakin' naysayers now, about the nazis shocking Christopher Bollyn!!
..There have been HUNDREDS OF DEATHS DUE TO TASERS in North America! All the fascist "Taser Corporation" has to say about it is that since the people were still alive a few minutes after the shock, THEN iT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN THE TASER!!! SiC BASTARDS!!
..A heart attack takes a few minutes, but their penance will last for eternity.
I believe, I heard in the Canadian federal debate, that the number of people who are slaughtered by TASER PER YEAR is in the THOUSANDS. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the prosecutor attorney said it was something like 13,000+ who get tasered per year, and NEVER get back up (i.e. DEAD)!!!
WHOA! Then the TV just lied again, that's all.. sorry to regurgitate cud..
10000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! noo.. ?? !! those bastards!
Is a murdering bastard to attack this man WITH 3 of his boys holding him down for him.
And grim FU buddie.. This was NOT a taser only event. That cop is responsable for delivering a toxic set of blows to this mans chest. collapsing his batton?? Are you blind? He hit the man 3 times and the stick was SOLID every single blow.
The man was killed by 4 cops. Nothing seen in the video necessitated that this man be shocked and bludgeoned until death ensued.
Nothing.
First you take D.C. Then you take New York
Well i have. Brutal repugnant bully shit. And i have to live less than 20 miles from there training unit on the #2 highway.
Those pussies are all going to get there just deserts just like the taser crazies seen working the beat killing`a few.
One doing evil shit will eventually have to deal with reality and a lesson or two from God. Do enough evil shit and you may just need a smite or swat. And i tell you the things some would call a paranoia or kook talk about holding pens and rail yard places. Well this talk is as far as i have seen is true. I have seen rail close Pens with nothing but a area with barbed and RAZOR coil facing INTO the emtpty space right next to a Major Calgary landmark.
South of ninth across from Fort Calgary there is a holding pen just nice to hold oh perhaps 20 or thirty boxcars full of humans right on the Main rail switch yard in the core of cow town. Do a Google earth of the area i dare you. Last i saw it was just the same as i first seen and noted it.
Quiet,empty,clean or..
Waiting.
First you take D.C. Then you take New York
..the cop closed his baton by hitting it vertically on the cement floor (the only way), you can see him put it away after.
..it's right on the edge there, had he hit him, it would have been on the head, and the people definately would have noticed or said something! also, if he's been hit, there will be evidence upon autopsy!
..as for the F'ing me, no buddy.. your constant rudeness reminds me of all the zionist shills i've had to deal with, always rude with the sensational babbling distractions! everything gets judged except for israel, which makes me think you're not, but i hope you get the point.
At the beginning of the video Dziekanski appear's to be calm,and about 30sec he seem's to be having an anxiety attack, after that and probably died of cardiac arrest when tasered.
I don't think he was struck with the club,the cop was using the type of club where you have to swing it open,and to close it you have to hit it against the wall or ground.You can see when he trys to close it,it kind of glides on the ground.Look close!
The RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) lied:
1) They said there were only 3 officers -- there were four.
2) They said he was acting violently BEFORE and AFTER they arrived -- he was CALM, STILL raised BOTH HANDS IN THE AIR, and LISTENED (although he couldn't speak English).
_______________________________
Oh, and by the way. The defense of the RCMP said it was UNFORTUNATE that this video was taken, and that it should NOT have been released to the PUBLIC.
;)
In other words, they wished it could have been another "Open & Shut Case of Resisting arrest".
LOL
Fucken Zionist Bastards! "Non-Lethal" weapon my friggin' ass!!! Now the USA, UK, Australia, and Canada are "deploying" tasers FULL SCALE....
And the horse you rode in on.
RCMP KILLED that man and no amount of your BULLSHIT is going to change this Grmm/Joe2...
None.
First you take D.C. Then you take New York
Wanted to taser this man..
Why else would they roll to the taser right away?
WHAT CONCERNS HAVE BEEN RAISED: Michael Lyman, a policing expert at Columbia College in Missouri, said the four officers on the scene should have been able to physically restrain Dziekanski without resorting to the Taser: "I don't even think batons or mace would have been necessary, given that there were four officers on the scene."
There were 4 burly COPS on this guy so why esclate the confrontation to include the weapons?? why even pull out the taser? Why? So you have a credable reason to waste the dude.
The bows delevered by the red head cop were intended to kill. His targeting the mans heart was clearly seen and the vigor of the blows tell me has some experence doing this and this time the target croaked it.
If 4 cops cannot take a man (ANY MAN) into custody without too much harm to the suspect then they are not worthy to have the job.
The cop that landed the blows is going to have to deal with the fact that he is responsible for Mr Dziekaski's death.
I hope the family sues the crap out of the Que. RCMP just to set a good example for preventing further shit treatment of the general public by these public SERVANTS.
We are watching Mr RCMP...
Very closely.
First you take D.C. Then you take New York
click the video and watch it full size, at 6:45+ minutes you see the Polish man fall to the right from taser shock, and then spin clockwise on the floor from second shock until his head is to the right. (cops dogpile), then at 8+ minutes, you see a cop pick up his baton from the floor, and shortly after, hit it onto the cement floor to retract it, then puts it in his belt.
had the baton been closed by hitting the man in the head (or ribs!), bone would easily fracture! the autopsy will tell all.
masher you are too rude, there's no way that all those people would just stand there and not notice if the cop dealt three death blows to this guy right in front of them!!
IT WAS THE TASERS AND DOGPILE!! THEY'RE STILL MURDERERS!!
Sorry Grimm ):

Brown County Sheriff Officer accidentally Tasers janitor
"Sooooooooo, let me see if I have this correct. Two cops enter this guy's home, and find him sleeping on the couch. They taser him. Hell of a way to wake up. Then he shows them ID that proves he does live there and the cops taser him AGAIN. And no charges are filed against the cops.
That about sum it up?"
A comment on WRH. today.
Nice one Mike.
First you take D.C. Then you take New York
..you're the solvent-tard mashill. if the pigs did what you say, they are 100% roasted; face it, honestly to me it looks like they squished the life out of him!!
..just like the Bollyn case, with the knee on temple, or something similarly dangerous no doubt.
..either way they murdered him!
I understand that your upset,but i never said anything about that man being treated fairly,he was murdered!!!!,but sorry he was not struck on the head...if you disagree it DOES NOT mean you can insult people,have alittle more respect for your self my friend..
Has seen Cops Kill.
And ALL you saw 4 cops gang up on and kill an un-armed man on that video.
I re-created the event and the Red head cop WANTED to end that mans life.
I have seen this before and i will see that event again.
3 solid spikes square and with power to the victims chest. All seen and re-createable from the video.
The CBC is covering up the WHOLE event.
Serious trouble.
And Joe you have NO idea how fing pissed a street survivor like me is sorry anyhow.
National media calling this a taser death ALL show there colors and all should be investigated.
Anyone notic that all 18 other taser deaths were ruled other causes of death than taser.
Some cops LIKE using(GET OFF ON USING) the taser. I KNOW. SEEN IT. Actual JOY in the event.
Troubles aplenty.
Whatever You all know....
First you take D.C. Then you take New York
"What would you imagine this man would say to the families and friends of people who have been tasered to death by various police entities around the world?"
As it is printed in the linked bit i think he said that
"If electricity was to kill it would do so straight away," said di Zazzo. "In most of these cases people have carried on fighting or struggling after they were hit by the Taser and had recovered. In a lot of these cases there is a drug overdose or cerebral delirium involved."
"In Canada, the man carried on struggling afterwards and was hit by batons and the police knelt on him. You can also die from being hit with a baton or knelt on," he added.
And i will add these men that respond to EVENTS at the airport (ANY AIRPORT) are VERY WELL trained. They knew that they could kill with using there baton with that sort of force and targeting. Knew to a very clear degree that one blow from a baton directly to the heart is enough to kill. Three blows in Quick succession is sure to kill the target. Having a "The Taser killed him" Excsuse to hide under is not going to work this time. I Saw the video. Some lawyer for the family is doing a post-it decorating session in a fancy office somewhere. And good hunting for him or her.
Until the debate is about cops going to extremes because of fear and using BRUTAL means to do the work of protecting the public safety there is going to be further crimes swept under a The Taser got Em rug.
First you take D.C. Then you take New York
..i ain't watching that again on account of you, i still think he's just closing the baton.
..lots of people die after being shocked!
Give this a listen...Then if you are so smart Grimm?
