Death of Robert Knipstrom at Hands of RCMP

PEJ News -
Here is an embed video that was released by the coroners office looking into the death of Robert Knipstrom who died in hospital after being pepper sprayed with a whole can of pepper spray, beaten with a baton and tasered by the RCMP.



How long are we going to put up with these brutal killers roaming the streets under the protection of a badge.  How is it that sadistic people are allowed into our police forces?   How much of this recent change in attitude of our police to the public from peace keepers is due to the infiltration and influence over our local police by ruthless imported police from the US?   When is enough enough.  People have got to stop electing politicians who's only interest is the protection of themselves and  businesses as usual.   Stop voting against your own best interest and get rid of the corruption that pretends to act in the public interest.

The story gets worse.  The budget cuts to our medical system, compounded by the criminal drug companies who rip of the public.  They corupt our medical profession by coercing and bribing doctors to become drug pushers.  

At the inquest the paramedics testified they didn't turn Robert Knipstrom over as was required by policy because he resisted being turned over.  B.C. Ambulance Service policy states that patients should be transported on their back, especially when handcuffed. 

After reaching the hospital they couldn't get anyone to tend to him even after attempts to do so.  "I was getting concerned about the patient.   I was looking for the bedside nurse, to say,  'We need some attention here,'" said Simon.

"I came back into the room, and saw he was turning blue. I grabbed a ventilator bag and mask and yelled out I needed help."  An emergency team raced in but, by then, Knipstrom was in cardiac arrest.  The team restarted his heart, but he was brain-dead and died four days later.

I don't understand.  Maybe people think that somehow things will get better if they don't vote or voice their concerns to their elected reps?
