      You wanna take that chance if you’re the officer on the scene? Seems to me having the gun up at the ready but not firing is what we’d want in a situation with a guy on fire because of protest and not having a clue what the fuck might be going on.

        Maybe have an ounce of compassion, keep the guy alive and waterboard him later like how global powers used to do

          How do you expect anyone but a fire rescue trained with equipment to help an immolated dude? You all lack empathy.
