If you are ever rolling around on fire from a cop’s action, and they are running away while you burn, please remember your post.
No one deserves to burn alive. Not even those ISIS fucks who jerked off watching people like that Jordanian Air Force officer being burned alive.
There is a line in the John Wayne movie
Chisum, when Henry Tunstall described seeing a young man hanged. He said it was “ghastly.” Wayne had a line later on quoting Tunstall “I’ve seen men hanged and that’s the word for it, ghastly.”
I’ve seen the aftermath of being badly burned up close, changing the dressings on people who burned. I still recall one guy who had no skin covering most of his right forearm and hand. I watched in equal parts fascination and horror as the muscles and connective tissues moved his fingers. He had zero analgesia - no pain meds. I may have never seen a man hanged (save for a few Nazis we hung in public and made movies of), but I don’t doubt it is ghastly. I have seen what being burned alive does to people, inside and out, and trust me, ghastly barely covers it.
If you want my perspective on this, volunteer in a burn unit.

The bike looks and sounds like a low displacement model which isn’t all that fast when compared to a cruiser. His best bet would have been sticking to side streets and make my fast, multiple turns. Luckily, his skill level was shit as was his decision making ability. Alls well that ends well.
No the bike has plenty of power. Enough to be an idiot and run. The pilot was just a complete rookie moron.

recoatliftI’m not a lawman…so after the chase and getting lit up, running around on fire, I’d of let him walk.
Figured he learned his lesson.
