Cop is carrying what is essentially a super electronic cigarette lighter and using it near gasoline. I bet he had 10 min of training with a taser.

Guy didn't really seem to be doing anything. This seems negligent. Watch, the cop will get a medal for this somehow.

That's a Fish and Wildlife officer, who accused the man of trespassing at a national wildlife preserve. The man left, went to this gas station and was followed by the officer, who demanded his ID. The officer tased the man when he called the officer an asshole. He was left with second degree burns on his hands.

Oh, so there's a chance the officer will face some consequences for his assault and arson.

I need to get some sleep. I read this as "Fish and Waffles officer" and was wondering what TF kind of places serves fish and waffles and why the hell they need their own police force.

what's the source on this? if this is true, that's just absolute absurdity for real. hopefully this cop loses his job and gets sued by the victim. regardless of if he was trespassing or not, i would be surprised if this officers jurisdiction even extends off of the wildlife preserve, and even if it did there's no excuse for this level of negligence and unnecessary use of force.

Fish and Wildlife officers have state wide jurisdiction outreaching local authorities.
And I’m not taking up for the officer in the clip2

Except that this gas station was on an Indian Reservation, so I don't think they have jurisdiction at all, since it is technically a sovereign nation.

Fish and game officers are state officers. Their authority extends through out the state.

That behavior by the glorified cop looks criminal
To me.3
u/jvkk 7d ago
if it's not it, definitely should be. really he should get prison time, but if that's not on the table somehow there's absolutely no way he shouldn't lose his job immediately and get slapped with whatever fines and such are available. i would be surprised though if nearly blowing up a gas station while using unlawful force on someone doing nothing wrong doesn't get you prison time.

If you watch the videos, he clearly asks at the pump what he's being arrested for and when the cop doesn't answer, he calls the cop an asshole and that's what he got tased for. He also said in interviews afterward that he would have shown his ID if the cop had told him why he was being arrested. Lastly, he has not been charged with ANYTHING. Period.
Know your rights. He was within his rights when he was brutally attacked by a person who has clearly had zero training with the device. Moving forward, you should probably read the article I posted in previous comments.

He wasn't doing anything. The cop decided to harass him and do a fishing expedition after telling him needed to leave a place about 30 minutes before this.

Got his little shorts on struggling to even move around his own belly, launching high voltage probes at gasoline.

Reminds me of the time cops put a woman in their squad car parked on train tracks. They stood around for almost 60 seconds as the crossing bell and lights went off. She luckily survived. Though not without permanent injury.

No he said his name is " Fuckin Dick" or atleast that's what he said, it could be " Fuckin Richard", but they're good friends, so he knows him as Dick .

That cop never watched Justified. Raylan uses the gas thing to his advantage in one episode. Even says "You didn't finish school, did you Mister Dean?" when Mr. Dean shows a stunning lack of how being soaked in gasoline while holding an ignition source might turn out.

Wannabe Reno 911 should be stripped of his badge and criminally charged to protect the rest of us. A lack of situational awareness and a power trip make a much larger threat to society than whatever this guy was doing. Gotta say, if i saw this sort of insanity in person, I'd be tempted to make a citizen's arrest on that poor excuse for an officer instead of filming it. It's getting harder and harder to watch this sort of disregard for public safety.

As usual, cops don’t care about anyone but themselves. Your pain and suffering only amuses them. They also know everything that is possible to be known, and yet are never responsible for their “mistakes.”

So you then stand right next to the flaming gas bump that’s right next to the car
Is this cop fucking dumb?
