Even though as a university student on campus I am frequently isolated from the rest of the world, causing me to miss out on important events that are reported in the news, one of the biggest stories in this half of the year or possibly the whole year was the death-by-taser of a Polish man named Robert Dziekanski. It is quite possible that deaths by this sort of means is common in many parts of the world but what made this story so devestating is that the man was calm (after throwing chairs and equpment around, however) and despite this, the police at the airport still used their tasers on him.
What I find very shocking is the fact that the video was even released. Of course there will be skeptics who believe that the whole deal is fake or planned, but the majority of people I have talked to believe what happened and didnt even think of it being planned. By communicating this video of Mr. Dziekanski's death, we are not only violating his family's privacy, but really, who needs to see this?
