This is police out of control

[Fungi]

Officer “not too bright” to put it in the vernacular.

Stories like these make it tough to back the Blue.

No matter what they charge the kid with, the police dept is culpable for any injuries resulting in the neglect from the arrest.

The law suit will be large.

I would fire the cop who used that taser if I was in charge, and fire the other officers for neglect.

Had some sympathy for the motorcycle guy....until I watched the chase video and saw a motorcycle menace. Now it’s “play stupid games, win stupid prizes”. Dogma run over by karma comes to mind.

Creepo law enforcement doesn't want any allies. I'd trust stranger before a cop and I don't trust strangers.

Humans are getting more stupid by the day.

failed to allow Barreto to put on his gas tank before

Uh, bashinski, what does that even mean ?

I bet there’s a lot more to this story,

but this urinalist would have little idea how to say it anyway.

My guess is they told him to get off the bike and he didn’t.

Taser and gas station, bad combo bad decisions and bad outcome .

[Izzatso]

The deputy who fired the taser and sparked the blaze has been charged with “culpable negligence”, a misdemeanor.

[plain talk]

I believe the cop standing up administered the taser. Not only did he roast a biker he roasted his fellow cop.

The picture reminds me of one of those suicidal burning monks from the 1960s only these people did not volunteer for this roast.

One can only hope the put out the dirt biker before the dirt bag.

[Sequoyah101]

Fundraiser for crawford? Um, no. Piss be upon him.

He also looks like a pinhead.

[TalBlack]

This deputy demonstrated a level of moronitude that I just can’t wrap my mind around. The stupid in this case is utterly unfathomable. Sort of like the Afghanistan pull out.

[Born in 1950]

Aren't there fire suppression systems at gas pumps? If so how come the cretins in crap-blue didn't know about them? Emergency responders.

Off the Pigs!

Police work is basically common sense, which isn’t so common anymore with some of these younger officers.

[Rebelbase]

"Do you know how a taser works?"

[bort]

I have been pulled over by police at least 15 times in my life, and questioned at least twice while on foot. Never had a single problem, I never was frightened for a moment.

[wastedyears]

Police are also planning to charge Barreto with several charges, including resisting arrest, if he survives.

Of course they will. I wouldn't be surprised if they had still arrested the guy while his skin was melting off.

[quilterdebbie]

I get it, the guy had been driving like an a-hole. But tasering him at the gas pump! Horrible. That poor young man.
