Brickbat: Great Balls of Fire

Osceola County, Florida, sheriff's Deputy David Crawford has been charged with misdemeanor culpable negligence with personal injury after firing his Taser at a man covered in gasoline, causing the man to explode in flames. Jean Barreto was wanted for traffic violations for reportedly popping wheelies on a dirt bike in traffic. Baretto was pumping gas at a service station when Crawford tackled him. Barreto spilled gas over himself, and when Crawford fired his Taser it ignited the gasoline, leaving Barreto with second- and third-degree burns over at least 75 percent of his body.

He knew it was better to burn out than to fade away.
Who would have guessed that a spark could set off gasoline vapors? I mean, other than the people who put those big warning stickers on gas pumps about static electricity sparks.
The people who put warnings on gas pumps because of static electricity are idiots.
But they should still serve warning to the particular case and the particular case should serve as example of the warning’s stupidity. Your average personal static discharge is on the order of 0.04-4 mJ, once. Your average stun gun is 10-100+ mJ, pulsed at ~20 Hz. At around 1000 rpms, when your car is being started, because compression and fuel/air mix are still coming together, your spark plugs in your car delivers about 80 mJ of energy and then drops off to about 15 at the (a normal) engine’s 100-250 psi operating pressure.
You aren’t going to set yourself or anything else on fire without some hard work generating the worst static discharge anyone’s ever seen, repeatedly, while being doused in fuel.
I only bring this up because several states mandate, by law, that you discharge before pumping, remain present at the pump, and refrain from using your phone (even if nobody actually enforces the law).
I get paid more than $90 to $100 per hour for working online. I heard about this job 3 months ago and after joining this I have earned easily $10k from this without having online working skills . Simply give it a shot on.the accompanying site…

BUT HE WAS POPPING WHEELIES.
I bet the Deputy won't get FIRED, unlike the perp. HE was fired.

10,000 more hours of advanced training needed here, per each cop! The educational establishment cums in their pants every time shit like this goes down!
It's a Law Enforcement Consultant's wet dream! Retire from police force at age 35 with full pension, then go into security consultancy where the real money is.
Fake Noos! Every Peace Officer knows that tasers are 100% non-lethal! This guy obviously set himself on fire. Thin Blue Line!
Cops, they do funny things
Sometimes, they tase most anything
Bound, by wild desire
they made a man, a ring of fire
He fell into a burning ring of fire
He went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire
Please consider yourself upvoted.
How in the actual fuck is setting a man on fire a misdemeanor? Based on other cases, I'm pretty sure basic TASER training mentions that you probably shouldn't light up highly flammable targets.
