Police get a shock when new Taser briefly ignites suspect

It didn't take Lancaster police long to discover a potential danger with their newly issued stun guns: They can set their targets on fire.
One day after officers received Tasers this week, two of them were patting out the flames on Daniel Wood, a 31-year-old homeless man who reportedly had been inhaling a chemical from a spray can to get high. Wood was not seriously injured but was taken to a hospital as a precaution, said Lancaster Police Chief David Bailey.

"Clearly, this is not the way we'd hoped to get started," Bailey said. "But I'm glad the suspect is OK, and this gives us an opportunity to review how we will do things from this point."

Since Zilly is slow to respond to this thread, let me stand in on his behalf. I believe that he would state that this gentleman presented no real danger and thus should not have been tasered. Rogue Cops.
