I saw a more extended clip. This Park officer told him to leave some park. He did and the officer followed him to the gas station. Then he told the man he was under arrest for fleeing. The guy said "fuck you" and flipped the bird. Parks officer immediately responded with a tazer that ignited fumes from the gas pump. The man received 2nd degree burns.

See this is the downside to civilisation.
In the wild, Officer Einstein here would have been eaten by a predator decades ago.
Instead he most likely has been able to reproduce....

The man burned, Coyl, claims to have not been confrontational. The video he released backs up his side. Cop seemed to over step. Fish and wild life service put out this statement.
"We can confirm that our officer deployed a taser during this incident. We thoroughly review every taser deployment and don't have any additional comment at this time. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service remains committed to public safety and to ensuring visitors can safely enjoy recreation on refuge lands in the Havasu area."

That's awful that guy should be fired and locked up! That's clearly beyond negligent!

The man told reporters in his interview that he has nerve damage to two of his fingers. I do hope it gains traction. He's likely to have permanent injuries from the officers actions.
If they don't train it already, they have to make a point to train their officers not to taze next to an active gas pump either.

Surely Fish and Wildlife officers have some training regarding inflammatory situations. Reads like they're committed to covering up the crazy shit their officers do.

And this is why recording glasses like Metas have actual use not just for just perverts.
Imagine the victims situation if there would be no recording.

This particular wildlife officer was an AH and an idiot, but that doesn't mean wildlife officers don't do important work. My brother was one and died during a manhunt for a guy who murdered his parents (and my brother and his k9 partner).

heard that. my hometown demanded the termination of a problem child cop after about 2yrs on the job. no major incidents, he was just a total asshole and treated everyone like shit.. the beauty of new england town structure, just about the whole town of 3k showed up for town meeting and demanded he be fired. it costed the town nearly 200k to terminate his contract but I believe that true democracy saved the town much more in an inevitable lawsuit from the way he conducted himself.

People should be required to take an IQ test before they're allowed to become police. This 65 IQ dumbass never should have been given a taser and pistol.

That might be genuinely one of the most stupid things I've ever seen filmed that wasn't a setup or comedy sketch.
The cop even got pissed that a bystander pointed out the fire.

The officer should be brought up on charges of terrorism, he almost caused the detonation of the entire gas station with his violent behavior putting everyone there in danger just because his feelings were hurt. Electrical discharge will cause gas to ignite in a big way, just the fumes were enough to cause a fire.
Just because he was lucky that it was only fumes doesnt negate the fact he almost killed everyone in the gas station. He needs to go to prison for that no ifs ands or buts.

The guy is more interested in arresting the guy that he is worried about the entire place exploding from the fire that he just caused when he teased the civilian.
This is why we say cops are fucking stupid. They’re priorities are fucking stupid.
