Newly disclosed RCMP email drops bombshell on Taser inquiry
"The email between two senior RCMP [officers] suggests that the four Mounties
who responded to a call at the airport discussed a plan to use a Taser against
the Polish immigrant before they arrived."--CBC News.
The idea that the policemen in question were prepared to use a Taser against
the man before they arrived shows clear intent to assault, perhaps even criminal
intent. Since Dziekanski died as a direct result of the Taser use by the policemen,
their actions fit within the felony murder doctrine:
felony murder doctrine n. a rule of criminal statutes that any death which occurs during the commission of a felony is first degree murder, and all participants in that felony or attempted felony can be charged with and found guilty of murder. A typical example is a robbery involving more than one criminal, in which one of them shoots, beats to death or runs over a store clerk, killing the clerk. Even if the death were accidental, all of the participants can be found guilty of felony murder, including those who did no harm, had no gun, and/or did not intend to hurt anyone.

Death by Tazer topic
After the Dziekanski inguiry is finished, I would like to see some sort of inquiry into tazer use, as I am wondering if Dzeikanski was tazed by more than one device. The video surveillance footage is not clear to me, in this regard.
