Violent Action: Seattle Police

Stapler Dept: There is a police video that may have caught some of the incident though not the shooting, and, separately, an audio recording; the police have not seen fit to make those public. It was a bystander’s video that exploded the falsehoods told by the RCMP about the supposed violent action of Mr. Dziekanski, which turned out to be that he was harmlessly holding an office stapler, though not brandishing it. The police should release any video and audio they have. The Seattle police are investigating themselves, and that is not a recipe for an impartial or effective investigation. As reported in the news.
