Taser investigation

Any changes that might help people get through an airport with less trouble is a good thing. However, the announcement of the time line(windows media link) of the events that took place at Vancouver International Airport, in regards to Robert Dziekanski death begs more questions than it answers.

Why was Robert Dziekanski sweating profusely?

Why is he so confused as to where to go and what to do?

Why did his mother wait for three and a half hours from his arrival time to seek help in finding him?

Why did Robert Dziekanski not respond to the two pages for him made by the customer service agent at the request of his mother?

After checking with customs, where did his mother go? She had to of known his flight had arrived on time and should have been able to find out if he had indeed arrived on that flight.

Why did he get so agitated and not simply seek out help from anyone in the entire 9 hours he was wandering the airport?

Why would anyone think that destroying property and being aggressive is a good way to get attention or help, if that was his intention, especially in an airport in this day and age?

Why, when confronted by 4 police officers would he reach for a stapler he had in his possession, for some strange reason? The same stapler that inevitably cost him his life, as it was no doubt mistaken for a weapon by the RCMP officer(s).


I still can't rap my head around this incident. None of it makes any sense to me at this point. I want answers, as do most level headed thinkers. That does not include those who have jumped to conclusions and are on the "ban the taser" or the "police are corrupt" band wagon.
