Blamed and Broken: The Mounties and the Death of Robert Dziekanski (Large Print 16 Pt Edition)

A few fleeting seconds, captured on video, led to a frustrating search for justice tainted by ego, bias, and a desire for vengeance. Images of Robert Dziekanski convulsing after being shocked by a Mountie's Taser went viral in 2007. International outrage and domestic shame followed the release of that painful video. It had taken just twenty-six seconds for four Mounties to surround and stun the Polish would-be immigrant at Vancouve International Airport. A decade later, after millions of dollars spent on an inquiry, and bungled prosecutions laden with bias and interference, the tragic impact of those fleeting seconds on the people involved -- Dziekanski's mother and the four Mounties -- is at last revealed.-- "Julian Sher, author of Until you are Dead: Steven Truscott's Long Ride into History and The Road to Hell"
