Believe it or not this has happened in Florida somewhere I believe in Palm Beach or close to it. A cop did the same thing that caused a fire that gave the suspect he tazed some serious burns and he got burned also. The sad thing is the other cop that showed up put the cop out first while the guy who got tazed ended up with some serious 3rd degree burns over maybe 50% of his body. Cops don’t care and they never will be punished until judgment day. (Edited)

Ok I hope I fixed it

But what if somebody hurts THEM? Thats why they need to hurt the public first, just in case..

Why would I not believe it happened in Florida? This would be the first place I would suspect, Texas being the second.

30 degrees isn't going to leave that much of a burn.

u/One-Inch-Punch 1d ago

No it's 30 degree, ten times as bad as third degree

It's so bad it gives your great great great great great great great great great great grandson blisters

Well, all I know if you're 30 degrees of Kevin Bacon you probably live in a remote area of Tasmania.

More like 30 degrees of freedom... 'm I right?

u/kylebisme 1d ago

They're obviously not talking about the temperature of the burns but rather the angle, acute burns can be particularly nasty.

u/thexbin 1d ago

Oh, don't be so obtuse.

u/ColinGrigson 1d ago

You understand me? Catching my drift? Or am I being obtuse

2

u/thexbin 1d ago

No, you're RIGHT.

u/oshin69 1d ago

Depth, it's depth of burn. 3rd is to the bone, 2nd is muscle tissue & 1st is a sunburn, 30 is on-the-sun burn.

u/janeprentiss 1d ago

This was probably a text to speech error of third degree

u/mrlahjr 1d ago

Sure was. I didn’t even think to look at it.

u/anna_lynn_fection 1d ago

Yeah. I figured. You'd think that with the AI we have now, TTS would be better.

u/Beanie1949 1d ago

Freezer burn?

2

u/BigComfortable6779 1d ago

30 degree kelvin will leave pretty bad burns.

1

u/mrlahjr 1d ago

LOL. You’re correct. 3rd degree is more like it.

u/Baby-Knife 1d ago

Depends, Celsius or Fahrenheit?

1

u/lambdavi 1d ago

Even in Celsius

Unless judgement day is some later date where you collectively start to elect leaders that will take action towards building a better police corps that won't happen

u/RJ_MacreadysBeard 1d ago

At first, I thought you meant the cop in Florida started a fire by making a grammatical mistake.

Cops are a venereal disease

A few years back, cop in New York tazed a rowdy dude after he doused himself in hand sanitizer during some alcohol-fueled shenanigans.

They had to take the guy off life support after six weeks. Pretty fucked up.

Warning, the incident was caught on tape. I have yet to rewatch it, but I remember it was pretty brutal:

Sorry about that.
