Millington: Kwesi Millington perjury conviction comes more than seven years after Dziekanski fatal confrontation with police, which stained the image of the RCMP and led to sweeping changes to how officers across the country use Tasers, according to Huffington Post Canada. Millington was among four Mounties summoned to Vancouver airport in October 2007 after Dziekanski, who spoke no English, started throwing furniture in the international terminal. Const. Millington fired his Taser less than a minute after arriving. The Crown alleged they lied when they attempted to reconcile their initial accounts of what happened with an amateur video released later. The officers, who were never charged for their actions on the night of Dziekanski death, were compelled to explain what happened at a subsequent public inquiry, and all four were later charged with perjury.
