The FBI has apparently been using the same type of tear gas canisters for years, even though the canisters have a tendency to set buildings on fire (and burn any occupants to death). Their repeated elimination of suspects by tear-gas-induced conflagration has prompted some folks to refer to the agency as the "Federal Bureau of Incineration"...
You made me think of the renegade cop in LA who was similarly immolated by his own department.
