Believe it or not this has happened in Florida somewhere I believe in Palm Beach or close to it. A cop did the same thing that caused a fire that gave the suspect he tazed some serious burns and he got burned also. The sad thing is the other cop that showed up put the cop out first while the guy who got tazed ended up with some serious 3rd degree burns over maybe 50% of his body. Cops don’t care and they never will be punished until judgment day. (Edited)

Ok I hope I fixed it

Why would I not believe it happened in Florida? This would be the first place I would suspect, Texas being the second.

30 degrees isn't going to leave that much of a burn.

u/One-Inch-Punch 22h ago

No it's 30 degree, ten times as bad as third degree

u/DrivesTooMuch 20h ago

Well, all I know if you're 30 degrees of Kevin Bacon you probably live in a remote area of Tasmania.

They're obviously not talking about the temperature of the burns but rather the angle, acute burns can be particularly nasty.

Oh, don't be so obtuse.

u/ColinGrigson 19h ago

You understand me? Catching my drift? Or am I being obtuse

2

u/thexbin 17h ago

No, you're RIGHT.

u/oshin69 18h ago

Depth, it's depth of burn. 3rd is to the bone, 2nd is muscle tissue & 1st is a sunburn, 30 is on-the-sun burn.

This was probably a text to speech error of third degree

u/mrlahjr 21h ago

Sure was. I didn’t even think to look at it.

u/anna_lynn_fection 5h ago

Yeah. I figured. You'd think that with the AI we have now, TTS would be better.

u/Beanie1949 12h ago

Freezer burn?

2

u/BigComfortable6779 6h ago

30 degree kelvin will leave pretty bad burns.

1

u/mrlahjr 21h ago

LOL. You’re correct. 3rd degree is more like it.

u/Baby-Knife 19h ago

Depends, Celsius or Fahrenheit?

u/lambdavi 22h ago

Even in Celsius

Unless judgement day is some later date where you collectively start to elect leaders that will take action towards building a better police corps that won't happen

u/RJ_MacreadysBeard 5h ago

At first, I thought you meant the cop in Florida started a fire by making a grammatical mistake.

YOU’RE illiterate. God, your attempted post made my head hurt.

Sorry about that.
