"Western Australia police said they were responding to a complaint at a house when Mitchell ran outside the house carrying a cigarette lighter and a large plastic bottle containing what they believe was fuel. When he refused to stop running toward them, one officer Tasered him, police said in a media release. The man was immediately engulfed in flames. The officer threw him to the ground and smothered the blaze with his hands, the statement said. Mitchell was charged with assault to prevent arrest and possession of a sniffing substance (FoxNews)."
I am not going to defend a guy who is running around sniffing gasoline, but how dumb is this cop? Ok, a guy is running around with a container of gasoline, so what do you do? Well of course you go to your trusty taser. I mean an electrical charge as never started a fire before right? Ugh....This really goes back to why cops are in love with taser guns. I think it really lets them shoot whoever. Not that this guy didn't deserve it, but they probably could have taken him down with physical force rather then shoot him with a taser and then get serious burns on your hands trying to save this dumbass. Anyways......hilarious.
