Bill Mckinnon: Polish Immigrant

Vancouver Sun Dept: The audacity chokes me: If there are cops who think they can get away with that in broad daylight with witnesses, what's happening in dark alleys late at night when video cameras don't work?, according to Vancouver Sun. After Dziekanski's death in October 2007, the Mounties similarly demonized the victim, suggesting the 40-year-old Polish immigrant was an aggressive, threatening alcoholic and the video of Buddy Tavares being kicked in the head is almost as offensive as the footage of Robert Dziekanski dying in pain at Vancouver International Airport. I found the aftermath of both similarly disturbing, especially Kelowna RCMP Supt. Bill McKinnon's description of the 51-year-old Tavares as someone suspected of domestic violence to qualify his officer's conduct. As reported in the news.
