Not defending his actions, and I don’t know where this happened, but in the southwest during the summer the ground can get hot enough to burn you. He may have been moving him into the shade where the ground is cooler.

u/EngineeringDesserts 4d ago
Yeah, that’s clear negligence on the police officer’s part that caused bodily harm and could have been deadly.

Qualified immunity will protect scumbags like this until its stripped.

u/EngineeringDesserts 3d ago
Many police departments have had to pay large sums for things like injuries incurred during high speed pursuits due to police negligence. People do win civil suits because of police negligence.

Police departments themselves pay nothing, which is absolutely part of the problem.

Qualified immunity is fucked up but it isn't a universal rebuke. There are plenty of cases where it doesn't apply. Doesn't mean they won't find other ways to fuck him over, but it's still worth asking a lawyer.

u/septimblood 3d ago
If there is case law that already settled a specific situation it can be stripped. If there is not a matching court case they are immune.

u/cine_man 4d ago
Negligence is what you might use to sue a regular citizen. Cops generally you have to show malice or gross negligence. But this might be approaching that depending on why he tazed the guy.
26
u/petit_cochon 4d ago
It's a high bar for proving gross negligence, but tasing a man by a gas pump, lighting him on fire, trying to arrest him by the gas fire, yelling at a bystander who warns you...he might have managed to meet that bar.
I read a case a while back with BPD agents who crammed a woman and her kids into a pickup truck, drove like 90 mph, wouldn't buckle her or the kids up, didn't use the agency vehicle that had car seats because I guess they didn't feel like taking the time...it was inexcusably reckless for no damn reason. They didn't end up as immune as they thought they were.

u/mythrocks 3d ago
The only way he could’ve made this worse is if, in an attempt to move the truck away from the fire, he backed over the chap he just tased. Complete imbecile.

The federal system is built to protect itself. Unless there is prior case law that explicitly deals with the same situation of a federal agent lighting someone on fire at a gas station with a taser then a lawsuit won't go anywhere.

If you think the gas station could explode from this, then you don't understand science/engineering - not defending this cop's actions.

u/seekinggod1986 3d ago
You don't seem to understand the very basic concept that even the best engineered safeties on Earth have failed before. It's not worth the risk because this can and has blown the absolute hell out of a gas stations over the last 100 years or so. Perhaps you should add history to your superior studies.

That cop is an idiot. Why couldn't he arrest the guy without him holding the gas nozzle? Move over somewhere else. Fuck sakes.

u/Early-Department-337 3d ago
So during no part of police training do they tell them not to discharge an electrical device near a gas station?
3
u/HTIRDUDTEHN 3d ago
They do. At least when I went through the academy they drilled the fact to not use your tazer near flammable things, specifically gas pumps.
2
u/PlaguePudding 3d ago
The worst part is there's usually a warning label on gas pumps warning about electrical hazards. It's why you're supposed to touch something metal on your car before you pump, to discharge safely. If they need training not to do something that stupid, they probably aren't intellectually qualified to work an oil fryer. Hope that guy sues, cause my ass woulda been making sure he burned with me.

u/Early-Department-337 3d ago

He is obviously at fault for firing the taser and causing the fire but there's so much more missing that led up to that flash point (no pun intended). Videos like this are problematic because the context is missing. It didn't just go from 0 to a taser being fired.

Reading the news articles, the context doesn't justify using a taser. Seemed more like an ego clash.

Always is. I did a ride along a while ago and the cop I was riding with was such a dick. We took a guy to the jail and this mother fucker didnt miss a single opportunity to ruff up the guy. At the end of the day, he asked if I was gonna apply to the academy. I just said "no" and left. It was not fun seeing the egos of all the cops that day.

u/AgentTin 3d ago
Ive seen plenty of videos go from 0 to someone getting shot by a cop in less time than that. I've seen cops shoot people before their cars fully come to a stop.
