Congratulations to the brave inbred cops escalating to attempted murder after continuing a chase that no other state would allow 👏👏 I feel so safe
I bet he don't run from the cops anymore
Carry on!
I hope he sues for a million zillion dollars.
ARKANSAS POLICE ARE CONSTANTLY ENGAGING IN DANGEROUS PURSUITS THAT OFTEN END IN TRAGEDY.
to be a hair dresser you need to get a license, to be a police office you can taser anyone even if they small like gasoline
..good work officer
That's going to be a heavy lawsuit
Hahahahah play stupid games win stupid prizes
andddddddddd none of this would of have happened if he would of have stopped from the start. He deserves it.
That is exactly why you don't run from police
Mortal Kombat uppercut
Toastyyyyyyyyyyy.
The only problem I have. is when they put out the fire they was going handcuffed him
Gas in a backpack is actually more common than people think. I rode my bike 1800 miles with 2 1/2 gallons of gasoline in my backpack. You don't want to run out of gas in the middle of nowhere
Help me Tom Cruise.. help me Oprah!

Why was he carrying gasoline in a backpack on his back and running from the cops? I’m so confused right now. Cops did a great job btw. That was totally unexpected and crazy. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, a man catches on fire from a taser. Gives new meaning to spontaneous combustion 😅😅 sorry I couldn’t help myself. I do pray he’s ok tho. That had to be scary for everyone
I bet he'll never run from the police again.

. In Tennessee v. Garner (1985), the Supreme Court held that the Fourth Amendment prohibits the use deadly force against a non-violent, unarmed felon who is fleeing. The Court noted, however, that if the suspect is threatening the officer or there is probable cause to believe the suspect committed a violent crime, deadly force may be justifiable to effect an arrest or prevent the suspect from fleeing.
JESUCRISTO ✝️ BENDIGA, I seen a video of officers chasing a car full of teens through a suburban area who crashed into a lake and the teens couldn’t get out and some couldn’t swim and the officers undressed down to there shorts and went in after them and it was winter time , they saved almost all of them I can’t remember clearly but I respect the heck out of them for trying to save the ones who endangered them and others JESUCRISTO ✝️ BENDIGA OFICIALS DE POLICÍA
Wow
He could have crashed the bike and set himself on fire with the gasoline in his backpack before he encountered the cops. WTF was he thinking?
Absolutely outstanding! Lmao!
you mean you couldn't smell the gas ⛽
Everything happens for a reason 😌
It's all fun and games running 🏍 from the police 🚔 until you get tased and catch on fire 🔥 then it's hilarious 🤣
ACAB
Why do you USA have so much crime and so many policemen?
Simple rural uneducated villages of India doesn't have so much crime….
You better get to the root of the problem…. And get rid of the thought that money can solve all problems……
I hope he goes to jail once he's out of the hospital 👍
I understand that he probably shouldn't have been running, I don't know what the circumstances were and that he probably did something he shouldn't have done to be chased but who tasers someone's backpack? That would not have effected him or anyone else in any way normally. It was just a terribly executed tactic.
Was it really worth a traffic stop??? Freak accident or not these cops are outta control
Before: Dont bring knife in a gun fight.
Now: Dont bring Gasoline in a Taser fight.
Seems like a good idea to stop these criminals
Who carries a gasoline ⛽️ tank on their backpack 🎒 🤔 🙄 then runs from the police 🚔 🤔 🙄
Whoa… that’s some stuff you see in a movie
I'm guessing next time he'll stop!
Moronic much?
You mean to say cops actually tried to put the fire out instead of just standing there and laughing?
Wow I'm SHOCKED 😬
