No thanks; I'm married.
Robert Dziecanski was not a criminal, nor did anything illegal. He fell through the cracks at YVR and was stuck inside the secure area. Security guards called the police, thinking they'd come in, calm him down and get an interpreter and sort it out.
He was confronted by the officers, given conflicting orders about what to do, and then was murdered by four RCMP officers via tazer overuse and extended knee-to-the-neck for daring to interrupt their (extended) break at a Tim Hortons(shit coffee and donuts shop).
After which they conspired to confiscate all bystander cellphone footage of the event and then created a false narrative about him "picking up a weapon". The "weapon" was a stapler on a table that one of the officers literally pointed at, and in a lack of language, he picked up.
It only came to light because a judge listened to the people whose phone was taken and forced the police to release the phones and the footage.
For the record I've never even been ticketed for anything. Only time I was ever stopped was because I slowed down to ensure I wasn't interfering with a cop walking down the middle of a sidestreet, because I was wondering why a cop was slowly walking down the middle of a street. I'm not against cops, just against cops that have no oversight and resist getting adequate oversight.
