Authorities are abusing the use of tasers.

A man was tasered to death by the authority in Vancouver airport last month. In the video, we can see the man was pleading and acting defensively while our national force looked like a gang of thugs beating the poor innocent guy who couldn't even speak English to death. They said that he was sweating, agitated and acting weird but that is still not a good reason to beat him to death. There were other ways of dealing with someone like that. Maybe he was lost or anxious because he was in a new country where he can't even ask for help as he doesn't speak English. They could have tried to calm him down and then find someone who could translate for them. Instead they just rushed him down and tasered him to death. We are surpassingly living in an educated society and yet we see those barbaric behaviors that make us think if humans have really evolved over the years. Innocent people are dying everyday because of useless wars where bombs are being dropped on people as if they were animals. Is killing the only solution??? The man was screaming horrible sounds of pain while he was being tasered and beaten to death like an animal. Over the past years, authorities have been abusing the use of tasers and unless they start thinking before reacting, more innocent people are going to die a brutal death.
