Richmond BC- The inquest into the death of Robert Dziekanski, originally scheduled to begin on May 5, has been rescheduled.

Dziekanski died after being tazered at the Vancouver Airport by police.

This inquest will be adjourned pending the completion of the police investigation and to allow Crown counsel the time needed to review the investigation report and make their determination.

As well, in February 2008, government announced a two-phase public inquiry.

The first phase will examine the use of conducted energy weapons.

Phase two will examine all of the circumstances surrounding Mr. Dziekanski’s death.

Phase one is expected to be completed by June 30, 2008. Information from phase one of the public inquiries will also be beneficial to the inquest.

No new date has been set for the inquest.

Oops, need more time to have a proper coverup and for disposal of incriminating evidence, lets postpone the inquiry.

I feel sorry for the families of the people who have died because of the use of tasers
BUT I am very very happy they weren't around 25-30 years ago when I was performing.

They need more time to dig up dirt on Robby D. The last time I heard, they had sent a team of investigators over to Poland to ask all the janitors if they ever caught him missing the toilet and pissing on the floor.

Apparently, they have already found video footage of him putting paper products in the "Cardboard Only" recycling bin.

Air India only look about 20 or more years. Look on the bright side.
