On November 15, 2017, at 2:40 A.M. multiple Oklahoma City police officers respond to a call for a suicidal individual. The suicidal individual, 29-year-old Dustin Pigeon, is holding an object in his hand as officers approach, and it is identified by the first two officers on scene as a lighter and lighter fluid. One officer is holding a shotgun allegedly loaded with less-than-lethal munitions in the form of beanbag rounds. The other officers are maintaining a lethal option.

In the hands of Dustin Pigeon is a bottle of lighter fluid that he has apparently doused himself in, and a lighter. Seeing the potential for the man to kill himself at any second, and thus rob the officers of the joy of killing him themselves, the officer with the less-than-lethal option takes his shot, triggering a fire orgy of the his trigger itchy compadres. One of them is facing up to 10 years in prison for second degree murder,

And they sure as hell did know it was lighter fluid because they said it beforehand. They escalated the situation pretty quickly. And after they killed him one cop casually says “oh I didn’t know you had bean bags”

NSFW

Cops shouldn't get involved in suicide attempt. Authorities should only clean up the mess

On one hand, 10 years seems light for a murder. On the other hand, I believe in assisted suicide and that’s pretty much what this was. The guy would’ve suffered more from burning himself anyway. His ghost should thank the cops.

Artice seems very unbiased. I'll assuredly take it for Gospel.

I don't know what happened, but clickbait like that is what's wrong for the country. That cop very well could be guilty, but I'm not going to get information from some one sided shite like that.

Better to kill him than let him pose a risk to others.

It’s sad that this world is now deprived of a man who wanted to light himself on fire. Oh dear, what could have been. That man might’ve cured cancer.

I dare you to go post this crap in the other thread about the 12-year-old who committed suicide. The same to the other jokers here too including Seeek

How am I a bootlicker for not trusting an article that is written like that? Like I said, that cop very well may be guilty, but I prefer to deal in facts and make decisions for myself.

That pretty much disqualifies the artice for me, and FWIW no news outlet (whether it leans right or left) is innocent of that.
