The inquiry into the taser-associated death of Howard Hyde seems to have some striking similarities to the Braidwood Inquiry into the taser-assisted (*) death of Robert Dziekanski.
(* I believe I'm allowed to write that at this point. It may well be an understatement. Complaints are more than welcome, and will be reviewed with great interest. Blog e-mail address in the right hand column.)
Similarities:
- Police Officers' written reports found to be faulty: Copied one from another. Demonstrably incorrect. Errors denied under oath (then recanted - that's one difference).
- Police Officers' sworn testimony found to be divergent from the actual facts as revealed by the unblinking eye of video. Ouch.
