The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team says three officers grabbed and tackled the man, punched him in the head and twice fired their Tasers at Carriage House Hotel and Conference Centre
Alberta 's police watchdog is looking into the facts around the death of a man who died while interacting with Calgary police. Calgary police fired stun guns at a man and punched him in the head before he was put in restraints and died, investigators with Alberta ’s police watchdog said Wednesday.
When the officer pointed a Taser at the man, ordering him again to leave, ASIRT said the man raised his hands and started to walk out. He told police: “I don’t want to die.” “At no point during the interaction had the male been identified, nor was he ever told he was being detained or under arrest,” ASIRT said.
Police said the man was pepper-sprayed and taken into custody and shortly after went into medical distress.
