You are correct.

The entire 10 minute cellphone video of the incident can be found on YouTube, if anyone is interested.

That's quite disingenuous... He was tasered and restrained because he had become unruly and destructive.

Certainly the situation could have (and should have) been handled better, and the RCMP should have only tasered him once, but to call it murder, and specifically to say it's because he didn't speak english, is a blatant falsehood.

Last I checked there was no (official) death penalty for chair-throwing. Call it institutional incompetence in de-escalation and maybe we can find some common ground.

he was tasered, cuffed and than tasered several times more. No CPR. That is murder.
