CATSKILL, N.Y. – An upstate New York man was in grave condition at a hospital after police used a Taser to subdue him and he burst into flames, authorities said Friday.

The Times Union of Albany reported that 29-year-old man walked into the Catskill village police department last weekend and got into a confrontation with officers. Chief Dave Darling confirmed to the newspaper that officers deployed a Taser to subdue the man, who had just doused himself with hand sanitizer, and the man then burst into flames.

Darling said the officers were familiar with the man from previous encounters.

“I think they were afraid he was going to hurt himself, and that’s what started it,” Darling said. “There are still details that we’re trying to develop.”

4. A few years ago, here in Albuquerque ...

A man was threatening to kill himself,
and a police officer shot and killed him.

The suicidal man had his gun pointed at his own head when the officer shot him.

The officer was never charged with any crime. Apparently the officer "feared for his life".

>>>>>>>>>
Nick administers the breathalyzer test on Kyle. After he's done blowing, Kyle bolts out of the room and through the station hallways, shoving numerous officers aside. One officer is pushed through a glass window. He makes his way to the waiting room, where the officer there douses him with pepper spray. However, this isn't enough to stop Kyle, who then runs down hallway and is cornered by other officers. Brass gives the order to hit Kyle with a stun gun. Instead of subduing Kyle, though, it sets him on fire, killing him.
