Don't Tase Me, Bro!

I read that a man had been tasered and burst into flames! How could this be?

Seems that this aboriginal native in Western Australia had been sniffing petrol and then charged at police holding a container of aforementioned gasoline and a lighter. They tased him and lo and behold he burst into flames!

Police Commissioner Karl O'Callaghan tried to explain why the coppers didn't have a choice but to tase the dude, really.

He told reporters: "The only other choice they would have had is to use a police-issue firearm, and the consequences would almost certainly have been far more grave."

NTS: Leave petrol and lighter home when having a walkabout.
