Poll: Man set aflame by Taser?

[Rigs83]

This guy in Australia was sniffing gasoline when police responded to a disturbance. He charged the police holding a lighter and a container of gasoline, they drew their Tasers and attempted to subdue him. He apparently caught fire apparently it was either sparked by the Taser probes or the lighter in his hand. One arresting officer suffered burns on his hands while attempting to put out the flames. He also received cuts to his head when an unidentified woman began throwing rocks at him.

Pfffaaahahaha!
That is wonderful.
I hope the officers don't get fussed at. If you rush cops after huffing gasoline, you deserve whatever comes next.

I really don't understand your poll, or the point of this thread.

Those tazers can be really dangerous, a girl in New Mexico got here head penetrated by on of the wire bolts and her brain got shocked. Also a Polish man in Canada was killed by one.

You never know what can happen in a freak, gasoline-fight accident. But, yeah, he was a little hot under the collar.

The poll is random, the point is it's a news article.

That's awesome!!

Think i saw this on an episode of CSI

Hes just lucky that wasnt LAPD he would have been shot 15 times.

Or a Victorian police officer, there's a reason why they are the only police in the country still armed with revolvers.

Saw it on sxephil. Thought it was hilarious...and very unfortunate...but I couldn't help but laugh.

Wow.
Sparks+Gasoline= BIG BOOM
Am I a terriable person to find this rather amusing?

 

[Timotei]

Yea that taser could have easily set off the gasoline. Hes just lucky that wasnt LAPD he would have been shot 15 times.

Torrance PD would have shot him AND reloaded.

i heard about this on sxePhill that is so funny

 

[Booze Zombie]

Good, good.

I see no sad story here.

 

[ElephantGuts]

That must have been awesome from the police officers' perspective- shooting a tazer at him and watching him burst into flame?

By the way I voted buildings on the poll. Just if anyone was wondering.

Thats Hilarious...A guy got set on fire by a tazer. Think about it for a moment.
