when they've been huffing gasoline...

From Aussieland...

"A man has burst into flames after being shot by a police Taser in Western Australia.

Police say they were trying to arrest the man for petrol sniffing at the Goldfields Aboriginal community of Warburton yesterday when he threatened them with a container of fuel and a cigarette lighter.

They say he ignored repeated requests to stop and was shot with the Taser, catching fire and suffering third degree burns to 10 per cent of his body.

Senior police say an investigation will determine if the Taser or the cigarette lighter is responsible for setting the man on fire."

I dunno, sounds to me like the perfect time to taser someone.

I wouldn't say it counts as a plan when they've already implemented it.

heck i'm inclined to agree with mb i think huffing is just accelerated darwinism damn shame these fools always seem to have kids though

Darwin was wrong. I deal with people all day. Theres no way he was right and all these people live.

Natural selection has been thwarted by "civilized society". Society protects the terminally stupid and allows them to procreate thus passing on their "stupid gene" and fouling the gene pool.

I'd highly recommend the aussie film "Samson & Delilah" for a look into the communities where this is happening.

Rumor on the law enforcement front is that OC propellants are flammable, and that suspects who have been sprayed then shocked have gone FWUP.

We will soon be issued Tasers, however we must completely do away with OC spray. Apparently there is some truth to this.

I think the Taser is better than OC.

You think a taser would be better for the situation your troops faced in that alley where they were gang rushed and had to put up an OC cloud to keep them away?

I would think that is what high capacity magazines are for.

Maybe they should have sprayed him with fire extinguishers instead. Or maybe just hit him with the fire extinguishers.

Or maybe just let him get on with killing his own brain cells without being molested by taser-wielding types.

I'd think that OC was the best of all possible solutions given what was transpiring.

A full magazine would have made a bad situation a LOT worse.

On the other had, it probalby would have led to a lot of urban redevelopment grants being levied...

Few things are perfect. However, there are varying degrees of suck.

One shot tazer, OC cloud. If I'm gang rushed, the hell if I want one shot from a taser.

Some are. The safety video my buddy watched before he got sprayed showed that some brands look like WD40 when an ignition source is applied. The First Defense (the company that put out the "safety" commercial) product he carries supposedly is not flammable.

That is not a politically-viable option. In the current political climate, we need to work with what we've got, JFRuser: which means the only viable choices are OC, batons, tazers, and - if you're feeling particularly libertarian - beating people up with fire extinguishers. The notion that maybe him killing his own brain cells was his own business is immature and extremist, so stop bringing it up already.

So many things this could apply to.

yup shame folks make a mess

"It's not about the other guys, it's about you."

I've seen plenty of guys who did glue, gas, and other unpleasantries back when I was much once younger. The only mess most of them did was of their own lives. And their own lives were their own.
