this was also an episode of CSI.
I'm proud of my life and the things that I have done, proud of myself and the loner I've become.

The man was immediately engulfed in flames. The officer threw him to the ground and smothered the blaze with his hands, the statement said.


I have a feeling what really happened here is nothing like what we are being lead to believe by the headline. Eff the media.

I can't wait for the day schools get the money they need, and the military has to hold bake sales to afford bombs.

O'Callaghan also said that while Mitchell did burst into flames after the Taser was deployed, it wasn't immediately clear if the stun gun actually sparked the fire.

"There is a very strong possibility the fire was caused by the lighter in the hand of the offender," he said.

The officer who Tasered Mitchell was not suspended, Clifford said.


I would've been so pissed if I read that the officer had been suspended. I mean seriously, who would've seen that coming?

Why would they even bother to mention "950 miles from..." WTF. That doesn't tell much.

Also, crazy women throwing rocks at officer trying to save burning dude? haha.

...err, resisting arrest? Are they wording it that way in Ausie to give heavier weight to an assault charge versus resisting a law enforcer?

I guess that's counted when he was charging towards them and (I assume) they told him to stop

Or maybe they're wording it that way because that was the law that fit. :eng101:
