Canadian police critized for death
Paul Kennedy
The officers told a public inquiry in British Columbia that they fired because they felt threatened by Dziekanski  who was holding a stapler  but Kennedy said he doesn't find any of the officers' statements credible.
 "The fact that the members met together prior to providing statements causes me to further question their versions of events " Kennedy wrote.
 Kennedy repeated his earlier recommendations that the force tighten its Taser policies and create an independent body to investigate officers in serious cases  such as those involving a death.
 Kennedy's recommendations aren't binding on the RCMP or the federal government.
 The commission's reports often include a response from the RCMP  but in this case Kennedy's findings were released without including the force's input.
 Kennedy's investigation  as well as several others including the public inquiry  were launched after the amateur video of the confrontation was made public.
