I wonder why this man did not submit to God's authority that was clearly vested in the RCMP officers? Romans 13: Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience. This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing. Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor. Polish man's death at Vancouver airport at hands of RCMP was homicide, B.C. coroner rules By Jessica Barrett, Vancouver Sun April 9, 2013 6:41 AM Robert Dziekanski holds a small table at the Vancouver Airport before he was tasered by police in this image from video. The BC Coroner's Service says the death of Polish immigrant Dziekanski in an altercation with RCMP officers at Vancouver's airport six years ago was a homicide.Homicide is considered a neutral term in coroner's reports and does not apportion any blame. VANCOUVER — More than five years after the Tasering death of Robert Dziekanski at Vancouver airport, the B.C. Coroner's Service has ruled the incident a homicide. "Homicide is a death due to an injury intentionally inflicted by the action of another person," wrote Patrick Cullinane in his final report released Monday. It is a neutral term that does not imply fault or blame. Cullinane concluded the Polish immigrant, who spoke no English, died of cardiac distress that occurred after being restrained and repeatedly Tasered by RCMP officers. He said an autopsy showed no natural diseases or injuries that would have led to Dziekanski's sudden death. "The pathologist concluded that the most likely cause of death was cardiac death during restraint and noted that the mechanism in such cases is not well understood." Cullinane noted his findings are consistent with those of the Braidwood Inquiry into Dziekanski's death at Vancouver airport on Oct. 14, 2007. Police were called when Dziekanski became agitated after spending nearly 10 hours at airport customs. Four officers responded to the call, Tasering and handcuffing Dziekanski within seconds of encountering him, the Braidwood Inquiry revealed. He soon began showing signs of medical distress and was declared dead at the airport a short time after paramedics arrived. No criminal charges were laid in his death, but the four RCMP officers involved in the incident were charged with perjury. The first of the four trials — for Const. Bill Bentley — is set for June 3 in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver. It's a jury trial expected to run for four weeks before B.C. Supreme Court Justice Mark McEwan. The Braidwood Inquiry, completed in 2010, made multiple recommendations regarding police use of Tasers and civilian oversight of police actions. Cullinane said many of the recommendations have since been put into place, including the formation of the Independent Investigations Office and the formation of a legislative committee last year to look into implementing changes to police training and use of Tasers. Cullinane said Taser use by police dropped by 87 per cent between 2007 and 2011, falling to 85 incidents from 640 provincewide. Other procedures have been put in place at Vancouver airport and with the Canada Border Services Agency to better monitor and assist non-English speaking immigrants. "Given the extent of the review and the accompanying recommendations, which have largely been adopted by the relevant agencies, I make no further recommendations," Cullinane wrote. Coroner's Service spokeswoman Barb McLintock said the coroner had to wait until all other inquiries and committees were concluded before issuing its report. She said Cullinane's conclusions will likely be the "last word" on Dziekanski's cause of death. http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Coroner+confirms+inquest+needed+into+Robert+Dziekanski+taser+death/5508813/story.html#ixzz2Pxr2i7yp
