The RCMP officers who Tasered Robert Dziekanski appear not to have followed an RCMP policy to call in paramedics before using a Taser on a person showing signs of "excited delirium."<br />
<br />
The RCMP's operations manual says that "all members must familiarize themselves with the common signs of excited delirium." It sets out procedures to be followed if possible.<br />
<br />
Excited delirium is a controversial term not recognized by some medical authorities, but sometimes cited by police agencies as contributing to the deaths of agitated people who have been Tasered.<br />
