I saw an interview segment with Jason Batemen on the news this morning, and he
seems fairly confident Arrested Development, the quirky TV comedy, will return as a movie or some other project. Here is exactly what he had to
say: "Well, I think one day we will probably do some sort of reunion, whether
it'd maybe be a movie, or something for cable, I mean I doubt very much a series
will ever come back, but it's something that we the cast are eager to do. The
boss Mitch Hurwitz, I believe is eager to do it; he's got a master plan, he's
probably got timing worked out. You know you don't want to do it right away,
you've got to wait a little bit, so, we'll see."

No. The police that were called in were the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police, AKA "The Mounties").
Ok. So this means that somebody from outside the airport was called in. Airports have their own security, and usually some key members of that security are real city or state (Provinces) police officials too.
Why would the airport call in for extra help if they had not tried to detain him?
More importantly, why would the police not come in with force in a situation like this? They are being called in to supersede the authority of another police force that should be reasonably well trained. Why would they not expect that others have tried to reason with him, and that he was a serious threat?
I mean seriously. Unless the Canadian law system is so f'ed up as to there is no security in the airport; why would the RCMP be called in unless the person was a serious threat and required immediate and swift subduing? Why would the RCMP think otherwise?
No, absolutely not the police are not at fault and should not be held responsible. They were called in as basically physical enforcers in this situation like this. They are trained, and legally obligated to go into a situation like this as the suspect is a unstable highly dangerous person who has likely caused damage to somebody else and needs immediate subduing with decisive force.
No. The RCMP is not at fault, at all. If they guy has not been talked to by the airport police, if they did not calmly and politely try and contain him and get lines of communication going. It is 100% there fault. The RCMP can only expect, in a situation like this, to be called in to handle a dangerous suspect the Airport police could not physically handle.
Do NOT blame the RCMP or the tazers. They were called in to be physical, direct enforcers. Period.
Any kind of blame, if any, lies solely on the Airport and not the RCMP or tazers.
If the guy was just confused and tired and emotional, the airport staff and airport polices/securities job and legal and moral obligation was to try and help him before calling the RCMP in to kick his ass because their was a physical threat.
Maybe the legal system is different in Canada. But I see this situation as no different the if the LAPD could not handle a situation and calls in the SWAT team. The LAPD would be fucking assholes for calling in SWAT because they did not want to do their jobs and give some guy a ticket. It is SWATS job to kick ass. The RCMP's job was to kick ass in this situation. There is no reason they should have expected that the well trained airport security and police did not even try and talk to the guy.
No sorry. I absolutely refuse to put any blame (based on the facts I have) on the RCMP or tazers, none at all. They did exactly what they were legally and morally obligated to do. They should NOT have been called in unless the guy was a serious physical threat and had been tried to be detained by the airport police and got violent. Period.
You can not call in a Police force to supersede the power of another police force, and not expect there to be a serious threat in that situation that needs immediate and swift dealing with. Period.
