VANCOUVER -- Four Mounties involved in the Taser death of a Polish immigrant appear to have broken the rules of how the weapon should be used.

A 2005 report by the B.C. police complaint commissioner listed a number of key safety recommendations for the use of a Taser.
A video of the Tasering of Robert Dziekanski on Oct. 14 at the Vancouver International Airport suggest they were not followed.

Chief among the recommendations were:

- Tasers should be used only against a subject who is actively resisting arrest or posing a risk to others, not someone who is "passively resisting."

In this case, Dziekanski, who did not speak English, appeared not to be resisting and there were no other people in the area who could be hurt by his actions.

- Officers should avoid shocking a subject multiple times.

Dziekanski was shocked twice within a matter of seconds.

- Following a Taser shock, a subject should be restrained in a way that allows him to breathe easily.

At one point four officers were on top of Dziekanski. Two officers knelt with their full weight on his neck and back.

The Taser Technology Review Final Report states "subjects who struggle with police are almost always restrained in a face-down position. If subjects are pinned down with a great deal of weight placed on their shoulders and back for a long period of time, it may hamper their ability to breathe rapidly enough.

  • aviomaster i see u got a problem with the polish people u dumb fuck pussy bet u life in chicago i would fuck u up bitch...

  • Polish people are used to test new equipment , anyways in USA and Canada , They think of them as lower class race ... and Polish dumb asseses still lick their ass. NATO ass I want to say.

  • i agree with you man 4 huge police officers could have taken him down without having to use the taser

  • It was 4 vs. 1 disoriented man. Even a single guy could bring that man down in a single strike and cuff him in less than 10 secs.
