Did the fire to his face make him spit the drugs out? :rofl: :rofl:

I don't mean to be cruel about it, but if people put themselves in situations like that then I feel for them. We don't tazer anyone here unless it is a last resort. We had to the other night for a guy and it made him pi$$ his pants. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

He didn't even know he did it. But come to think of it he was sprayed as well. I think we all use water based pepper spray instead of alcohol based so that may have had something to do with it.

Here comes the lawsuits.
