The man must have been a true hayseed from rural Poland somewhere with no
clue. How can any rational person expect any different treatment upon
creating a distrubance at an airport in this day and age? He was either
so
ignorant that he didn't know any better or he was just so agitated that he
didn't care. That's not something airport security should be concerned
about or have to guess at.

Yes, they should just kill them, because killing someone is the only
possible
way to restrain them. There's nothing short of that which works.



Seems to be a lot of histrionics from you on this thread. Do you really
expect a serious response in reply to the your last two sentences above?

But, I'll play along for a little while.

A lot of folks seem to believe that the force used by security must be equal
to that by the person they are trying to subdue. It doesn't work that way.
Just because the guy is unarmed doesn't mean all the cops must disarm and
take him down hand-to-hand.

They don't have an obligation to give anyone a fair fight. They are to deal
with the immediate threat and let someone else sort out the
"why-did-he-do-that" bullshit later. The response in this case appeared to
be reasonable. But it resulted in a death. That doesn't mean there is a
policy to kill people who are confused and angry and airports.
