Polish Visitor to Vancouver Canada killed by RCMP TASER on the Airport

Sombre nation? And Poland isn't u think?

I was recently going through Vancouver's airport. Sure enough, I was harrased multiple times. The airport itself is unchanged from the incident, in terms of facilitating it for new travellers/immigrants. Shame on the authorities. That place gives me the creeps, and made me think of poor Dziekanski.

Are you still whining about that retard what's his name who terrorized the Vancouver International? LOL

yes, I am. You don't have to read it, do you? Have you no free will or something?

This was an obvious tragedy and a sickening reminder of how xenophobic and racist the authorities really are. But we always knew this. Canadian history is full of examples of mistreatment of minorities, including of Slavic origins.

What makes me even sadder, however, is the response of some Poles who argue that the police murder of Mr. Dziekanski was necessary and justifiable. There seems to be a denial on behalf of some Poles to acknowledge that polonophobia is real and that we suffer disdain for being Poles. I recall from the media footage that the police noted that the immigrant spoke some kind of Eastern European language. I can't ignore the fact that they viewed him as a Slav.

Ziomek,
I agree with you completly. For a final assignment in my law class a few months ago, the teacher gave us the choice of writing an essay on whatever we wanted (that had to do with law). I did mine of police brutality, and every single victim that I mentioned she had torn apart my evidence. I had written alot about Dziekanski-from the time leading up to his murder to after it-and she wrote to the side of my paper "if your going to present a case-present the entire case; he had actually thrown a computer through a window." She was trying to imply that,even if he did throw a computer through a window, which he didn't, his death was just. Most people are outraged about this, but it doesn't make sense to me why there are even a tiny few who are trying to defend the police...what happened happened, its right infront of their eyes...

That doesnt mean that thats why they tasered him though does it? The guards were totally out of order and completed exceeded the levels of force needed to control the guy. However many Slavs come and go through Vancouver airport without being electrocuted by the authorities.
