Thank you. After reading my comments, some people might get an idea that I am a dangerous creep. It seems to me that Sergey has already decided to stop reading my comments (because he didn't reply to my question about how to make the Bold button work [b]B [/b]). But everyone who knows me personally seem to think that I am a nice, kind person.
> я все равно не считаю, что человек заслуживает быть убитым
He didn't deserve it. It was an accident. If he were to die after they were to hit him with a police baton (a heavy stick), it would also be an accident.

In every city of this size violent events happen every single day. I believe the reason this case got so much publicity is that someone shot that video. I don't think this case should have been on the news. The officer who used the taser should have been given days off work, to ensure that he doesn't get depressed, or become stressed out, and that is all.

They were not lazy. What you suggest places them in more Danger. As I said before, even if there is a 1% chance that a police officer gets seriously hurt in one incident, that implies that there is a 90% chance that it happens in the next 5 years (during which many incidents take place). So the overall risk is minimized when we allow our police officers to use their tasers.
I was upset when I read that the Polish community is speaking out against the police. It is even more disturbing that they are doing this in Poland as well. This guy has confirmed the reputation that the Polish people have in North America (the same reputation as chukchi have in Russia). I would expect them to condemn him and his behaviour and to try to distance themselves from him.
[b] Stariy_Ko [/b], I am really surprised that you are not on the side of the police. It seems to be inconsistent with the views that you were presenting in the past.
If you believe the police let this person down, then how come you don't believe that, say, the society let down gay/lesbian/bi/transgendered, persons of colour, aboriginal people and persons with disabilities down? They really are NOT being represented in the Parliament.
"Specifically, the party will now require 30 per cent of constituencies that it doesn't already hold to be designated for women candidates.
Another 10 per cent of those ridings will be designated for "youth, gay/lesbian/bi/transgendered, persons of colour, aboriginal people and persons with disabilities."
And if any NDP MLAs choose not to run again, those seats automatically go into the women-only pool."

There is a lot that can be done to change our society. Put the police "in their place" (scare the hell out of them, and make them think twice before they do anything, even when they are placed in a life-or-death situation, where a fraction of a second makes a difference to the outcome) (that takes out the justice system); make the immigration officers fear being accused of being racist (this leads to wide open borders); do something along these lines to teachers (takes the education system out); make the employers think twice before they hire someone (make it harder to fire employees) (that takes out the industry); raise the taxes; redistribute the income and you are done: it won't feel like the same country anymore. If one has a certain mindset, all of the above must seem like a good idea.

Такого не должно было случиться. Ну как же можно было убить человека, который не совершил никакого преступления? 
А здесь человек нуждался в помощи - его за это убили...
