There was a case a couple of years ago where an Eastern European immigrant arrived at a western Canadian airport and for some reason there was no there to greet him. After several hours of wandering around the airport, not being able to find anyone who could communicate with him, and unable to find the people who were supposed to meet him, he was becoming increasingly agitated. At some point in time airport security was called - this would be the R.C.M.P. Now, I'm just too lazy to go search CBC archives to find it, but airport video clearly showed that the officers involved made NO attempt to communicate with the man. They simply approached him and repeatedly tasered him. Not so funny, huh? What's even LESS funny is that the man died. Yup. It can happen. He had no medical conditions that complicated the mattter - tasers can actually do that at times. They can kill people. The man was NOT considered to be a threat to ANYONE. He was just upset. Welcome to Canada......ZAP!
