If there was any doubt that the killing of Robert Dziekanski at Vancouver Airport in 2007 was totally unjustified, that's put to rest by the rulings of the Braidwood inquiry. Tom Braidwood plainly found that the executed man was compliant at the time he was attacked, that the tasering was unjustified and that the tall tales these four uniformed thugs cooked up were unbelievable.
Even before the inquiry got underway, BC's Attorney General's office announced the four horsemen would not be prosecuted for the homicide. That doesn't mean we should stand by and accept that decision.
If you disagree, if you think these cops need to feel the full weight of the law, let the AG know. Contact Mike de Jong here and tell him what's on your mind.
Thugs and killers are the right characterization. It is hurtful to see Robert Dziekanski's mother suffer. It was one of the most horrific killings I ever saw on the news.
