Tasers NEVER killed Anyone

'apparently violent' ?
Towards inanimate objects, some chairs, a window - Yes, absolutely.
Towards people, cops, bystanders - No way, absolutely not.


I would suggest that they was he was throwing that stuff around, he was
acting out violently, and it's certainly not a far stretch to go from
throwing furniture and computers to acting out violently against people.
The police tried to communicate with him and he just waved them off and
walked away. He was not acting rationally.



So from now on, if anyone ever is violent towards an chair or wall or
window, the police have the right to barge in and apply deadly force right
away.

It comes down to opinion. I see a man who poses no danger, is not even
close to being dangerous enough to deserve being Tased first, without ANY
OTHER attempt to deal with him.
You see a man who hadn't made ONE threatening gesture, but is still somehow
dangerous enough that the Police felt it was necessary to skip all the other
steps in their training/protocol.

Why are people so outraged, why is this an international incident,
international news, why has the Polish embassy gotten involved, why has the
BC AG received more correspondence on this issue than for any other issue in
their memory?

Over 90% of people polled saw the Police go in there like asshole cowboys.
If you see it differently, then there's not much we can argue about, except
that the officers did not follow their training or protocol. That is a
fact.

But, why did the RCMP lie so blatantly about almost all details of the
incident before the video was released if they were without fault?

It is often a shock for people to witness what goes down when police have
to subdue a violent person. It is not pretty. Sound bites and expressed
opinions influence people's views.

Sorry a video of the actual incident is not a sound bite.
