Were it not for 10 minutes of amateur video

It's impossible to cover the Braidwood Commission inquiry without wondering how things would have turned out without the 10-minute amateur video of events shot by bystander Paul Pritchard.

Odds are it would be very different. Indeed, would there even be an inquiry into how Robert Dziekanski died after being jolted five times by an RCMP Taser? No wonder Pritchard had to get a lawyer to get the Mounties to release the video (and camcorder) they'd seized from him at the airport.
