VANCOUVER, British Columbia—More than 1,000 people demonstrated here November 24 to protest the cop killing of Robert Dziekanski at the Vancouver airport. The Polish immigrant neither resisted nor provoked police. Nevertheless, he was zapped at least twice by Tasers administering 50,000 volts and then jumped on by three cops who held him face down with their knees on his head and neck until he stopped breathing. A video of the assault was taken by a bystander and then shown around the world, provoking widespread outrage. Protest demonstrations also took place November 24 in Victoria and Toronto.
