Is airline passenger abuse on the rise as a result of passenger

Tazers have actually been proven to REDUCE injury rates overall, both in
suspects AND in officers.. TREMENDOUSLY reduce them, and associated
workers comp claims.



I am confident that competent experts and due process will determine whether
excessive or inappropriate force was used to subdue the gentleman (do I sound
confident?)

The guy certainly had a problem, and would appear to be an excellent candidate
for denial of entry to the country, if such was his intention. After all, if he
cannot even get out of the arrivals lounge before the fixtures start flying,
then this is an exemplary opportunity to nip one in the bud!

On the other hand - he may have suffered abuse as a child. Perhaps, in his
youth, he was forced to take repeated flights on Iberia Airlines. Now, years
later, every time he flies the rage resurfaces from that psychological
mistreatment buried deep within. In this case we have no choice but to view him
as a perpetrator and victim . . .
