I ask because Jack Tarr said "now the taxpayers will have to pay this tools medical bills" but if Australia has free healthcare then they would pay those bills anyway

How stupid can the cops get? They know that electricity can start a fire, and they let the man go down in flames! I hope the men who fired the tasers are fired, the bastards. |

Yeah I have to say the cops probably made the right call here. It was either that or a bullet, which could have also made a fireball. People need to be responsible for their own actions sometimes. Criminals have more rights than law abiding citizens. There have been lawsuits by criminals that have been won where victims of crime have been found negligent for things that have harmed the criminal for doing what he did. It's sad really. Like my idiot friends, if you walk on the edge of the 100 foot train bridge after I warn you and beg you to get down, and a train is coming, and you insist on doing it, it's between you and God my friend. And you really can't blame anyone but yourself. |

From what my parents have told me about cops in the desert (they lived in desert for a decade) cops out there can be a racist bunch and the local Aboriginals often get the short end of the stick. I haven't seen this in Australian news, for example. |

I'd just like to point out this snippet from the article:
Which is why the police would've used tasers, and like MrPopo said, he's lucky it was that and not a bullet. |

Well, either way, he burst into flames- they knew better than to taser or shoot him when the criminal had gasoline. I still back the criminal, and the bastard cops need to be sued. |

Hmm. The article tells the criminal had petrol and a lighter so that and running at the police make me think they were right to taser him otherwise he might have set fire to them which woudl have been worse for all. |

For what? Defending themselves from a psycho running at them with gas carrying a lighter? Believe me if a man with gas was running at me with a lighter in hand, I'd taser him, shoot him, or whatever I needed to do to stop him from reaching me. |

Nope, sorry. I'm with the Aboriginal guy on this one. Cops in towns with high Aboriginal populations often just go looking for trouble. These things DO get exaggerated. Petrol sniffing may make someone angry/mad whatever, but usually physically out of it. Cops overreacted with their new toys. |
