This is a completely messed up story. This Polish guy was moving to Canada to live with his mother. So he gets off the plane at the Vancouver airport, goes through customs, and then somehow gets stuck in the arrivals lobby for 10 hours. It's not clear why, whether he was lost and confused, or if various airport personnel wouldn't let him out for some reason. At any rate, his mother was in a nearby part of the airport, maybe 200 feet away, but unable to communicate with her son, and she got no help from airport people. So after a while, she went home, with assurances from the airport that her son would be located. So there's a surveillance video that shows the airport police finding the guy, confronting him, and then tasering him 24 seconds after they first approached this man. And he died. For no reason.

The mother called the airport about half an hour after they killed her son, and they told he he had been found and was safe. I would like to find whoever told her that and taser him to death. Can you believe this? I thought it was a joke at first. People bash US airport security, but they haven't killed anyone yet, so far as I know.

Edit: Turns out the guy had gotten somewhat violent, throwing chairs and stuff, because he was stuck for 10 hours and no one would help him.
