Taser death makes worldwide impression

Dziekanski

The world is talking about Robert Dziekanski.

The death of the Polish immigrant, who died after being Tasered twice by police at Vancouver International Airport in October, has made the top slots in newspapers, blogs and websites from New York to Taiwan.

"Tasered immigrant took just 25 seconds to die, video shows," screamed a headline in Hong Kong's South China Morning Post. "'Awful screaming' in Taser video to be made public," CNN's world website promised...

Vancouver Sun letter-writer Winthrop Hyde drew parallels between Dziekanski's death and Rodney King, who was beaten by four Los Angeles police officers, and the subsequent 1992 riots.

He said this was just "another situation of video testimony confirming that police lack political judgment and civil intelligence."
