The lesson here is your actions carry consequences. That biker shoulda thought of that before riding around dangerously looking for trouble with the law.
FTP how did that work out for you. Feel no pity
He will think twice about blowing through 13 red lights next time 😂
The cops need to be charged with negligence of some sort
WOW judge jury no straight to executioners. What happened to seizing a suspect's hands and immobilizing him. Jump to police brutality and killing suspects. WOW!!
Oooops! My bad🙂
Pretty dumb to use the taser….
Instant Karma's going to get you
Going to knock you right on the head

God bless all law enforcement officers.

May not have had that problem if the deputy just shot the perpetrator. Just saying.
I am not inclined to believe anything the police say unless they back it up with irrefutable evidence.
I believe the police messed up, got the wrong guy, and nearly killed him because they are that incompetent. I believe they tried to cover up their mistakes and are doing damage control.
Why did the police cut out of the section video that would prove or disprove whether the officer accidentally caused the fire by picking up his dislodged taser, or he pointed and fired?
Why do the media construct the story in a way that allows a narrative to be established, and then fail to show the vital clip that would prove or disprove the narrative?
Shooting, tazing, choking, beating, is not enough now they will burn you alive. A new level of police abuse.
I hope this man wins a BIG law suite against the police department. How STUPID can this cop be??. They know that a tazer produces a spark along with an electrical charge. Cops are not trained to preserve human life. This is a perfect example. Dumb stupid ars cop. Another case of abuse.
The PIG will walk and the biker will go to prison.
WA WA wanted to sue the sheriff's department. so they cut ties with the deputy. GO FIGURE. Yeah WaWa said he almost set the whole gas station on fire🤨🤔🧐
any situation where you involve police will end badly. stop calling police on people. I bet there was never a gun
Not sure any amount of training would make this Deputy any smarter – He should be accountable for his actions (with respect to damaged property) – With that said, I don't feel one ounce of sympathy for the suspect, if he was breaking the law and resisting, he takes on his shoulders what happens next. Stop Resisting – Have Your Day In Court !
I don't feel bad for either party. The amount of those guys in dirt bikes that have caused accidents in my city. Sometimes even shot at people because they get hit because of their stupidity and then get mad. Nothing of value was lost.
This is how most police officers view the perfect way to protect and serve. It's all about getting even for all those wedgies they got in school
Guy was a menace
That deputy doesn’t deserve a pancake breakfast.
Eico, eico eineh… 🎶
Well at least they cooked the deputy's too.
These cops are stupid! Why do you use a Taser!! around fuel!
https://youtu.be/kI6AZ0lxhuQ
Common knowledge. Everyone knows not to restart their car while fueling…you are not even supposed to open or close the car door… even your cell phone can generate a spark. If these cops are not bright enough to not use a taxer or stun gun on someone while that person is fueling their car instead of waiting until they are done, then they are not bright enough to be cops, unless the standard is that low…
What they were trying to do was cover it up ,but they couldn't. Smdh
Yeah, I'm all about Justice ⚖ and it being blind…but this was literally an Accident!!! The fact he was even using a taser…Surprising. 😳Wait ✋ I see why🤔
I said his life might be saved at that hospital because it ain't no card general. Or should I say it's not Elkhart general in Elkhart Indiana where you got murdering lying thieving monsters
This is life might be saved there's nothing wrong with my husband and they murdered him anyway anyway at a hospital I don't understand how murdering people can work in a hospital I want to meet my husband they touching it for over 8 hours and then murdered him at Elkhart general hospital ER critical Care Elkhart Indiana for dropping a small oxygen tank
Meanwhile in Florida…
These police don't care about other peoples these police can do any evil thing and get away with it taxpayers have pay for what ever evil these police did to other people's the police could handle the situation better I'm happy those police got burn 🔥🔥
cops on fire , nice
Police are stupid.
The bottom line is that criminal activity caused this, NOT the police.
That's a special sort of stupid.
3rd degree burns on 70% of his body and by the looks of that photo 1:34 they put him in handcuffs. Rule number 1 never ever use a tazer at a gas station while pumping gas. Remember when using a phone was illegal when at a gas station..
No loss

They suggest you don't smoke, or use your cell phones while pumping gas, I would think it's same for a taser!!! Good Lord that officer did not use common sense. Could have set that whole gas station on fire.
Of all the mistakes you could make. This 1 is a really, really bad 1 on the Officer’s part. The kid re-fueling during a chase is absolutely ridiculous too. 🤷♀️
That's what he gets you have to eliminate these punks no matter what it takes
No sympathy from me. He got what he deserved. Pull the plug.
