SAPD: Man Tasered while attempting to save infant son from a house fire

[Roger Bacon]

The mans infrant son died in the fire.  I almost think it would be better to have let the man die trying to save the kid.  I couldn't let something like this go as long as I lived if I was a father.  

Are the police right?  Is it the states place to keep you from risking your own safety?

Those cops sure love their taser toys.

If true, it's a fucking disgrace.

If that happened to me and my son died, I would hunt down each one of the cops that stopped me from helping him.

Especially Brazilians in Sydney
Australian socceroos will be very "welcome" if they qualify for the World Cup 2014 in Brazil

If my kid died and it was due to a cop tasing me.  I would do so much harm to that cop and his family in retribution.  I would kill everyone he loves in front of him then slowly kill him.  When will the public get smart and start paying back these fucking cops with what they deserve

who would have raised the other son if his father died? Were fireman on scene when he attempted to enter the house? Many cops died in house fires trying to rescue people before firemen were on scene. Smoke inhalation kills most before fire ever gets to them. People sometimes act crazy and violently to first responders when we are there to help I don't blame them but I hope they don't blame us for defending ourselves. Fireman's perspective.

Land of the free isn't it? Who the fuck is some cop to make the decision for you?

For all we know, he could have got the kid out.

I agree we should not be forced to stop you from commiting suicide or help you after you try, I personaly wouldnt stop someone who wanted to run
In a fire why put myself in danger for someone who is insane. dont expect me to put my ass on the line to get you out when you put yourself there in the first place but you will ,then I will be accused of all kinds of crap.

[Man of Steel]

Yes, I believe it's wrong that the man was stopped from attempting to save his son.

Your definition of insane is someone that wants to save his son?

As for putting your ass on the line - what? The cop tazed him, the cop wasn't risking anything.

Fucking idiotic apologist crap.

No because the father got ther about 20 minutes later....that baby was already dead and the fire was burning out of control.  If he went in there, he would have been dead too.   

Its a heartbreaking deal and I would hate to be that police officer that would have to do it, but its wrong

[Disgusted]

Damn, if that poor child was long dead I guess the cop made a good decision but I still have to wonder. Have to know more about the situation.

[reppingfor20]

he can always have another one.
