The Florida dirt bike rider who was burned alive in an explosion when a deputy tasered him while he was pumping gas was stopped by police after attending a ‘peaceful memorial ride’, his family’s attorney said.

Maybe they should add a “No Tasering Within 50 Feet” sticker on the gas pump. RIP, unlucky pumper.
Somthing fishy here, Memorial Day weekend is next weekend not this one.
Smart Cops.
Tasering a kid at a Gas Station. They might as well just taken their cigar out of their fat goateed mouth and tossed it on him
Not a great idea using the taser near the gasoline; however, Barreto is captured on video running through thirteen red lights, performing six wheelies, driving in the opposite lane of traffic five times and fleeing from the police. It is also alleged that he pointed a revolver at another motorist. He’s far from your ordinary law-abiding citizen.
I’ll bet if he did not resist, none of this would have occurred in the first place. Granted, the officer should in no way have deployed his taser, but the blame falls on the kid. Too bad the social justice warriors will miss the fact that a bunch of red lights were run through, all sorts of stunts and evading police. The cop is doomed as the keyboard warriors will try him in the court of public opinion, the offender’s family will file a big, fat, lawsuit and once again breaking the law will be a meal ticket for horrible behavior. Awesome.
