Grand Jury Indicts Police Officer instead of Accused!

Guy was probably scared and panicked.

Nemesis:

However why would someone want to put out a lithium battery fire with water.

Since he only had a garden hose, I was thinking he was trying to slow the surrounding area from going up and minimizing the damage as much as possible until the FD arrived.

Nemesis · 2024-11-27T15:35:54.153Z

Hopefully.

Water will extinguish a lithium battery fire. There is very little lithium metal in a battery.

And as @komobu said, it will keep it from spreading.

Your mealy-mouthed criticism of the citizen is ignorant and irrelevant.

Yes yes, we know another area you are a “google expert”

Indeed. It took less than a second. You should have done it.

Lol and you couldnt help yourself you just had to try and prove your intellectual prowess. .

Merry Christmas.

Man’s house is on fire, he and his son are fighting to save their home. The police taze him, beat him and arrest him. All in front of his family.

And the best response you can come up with is “FoAm eXtiNgUiSher!”

Be a man!

Karenism must die.

WuWei · 2024-11-27T16:33:12.396Z

And succeed.

It’s Thanksgiving. Christmas is in December.

However why would someone want to put out a lithium battery fire with water. Thats asking for more trouble. Everyone should have foam based extinguishers in their home.

There are two ways to think during an emergency:

The ideal way - “utilizing water in attempt to extinguish this fire that is being fueled by lithium batteries will result in a chemical reaction that leads to the release of hydrogen that, in turn, may ultimately exacerbate the situation”
The realistic way - “oh ■■■■■ my ■■■■ is on fire, what do I got that will put this out”.

WuWei · 2024-11-27T16:44:25.115Z

And hindsight is 20/20, but only looking back.

Well, hindsight 20/20 and all…it’s probably best for a cop not to beat the ■■■■ out of someone for their own good.

Or shock them. Which probably wouldn’t have had to happen if he had fOaM eXtiNgUisHer!

Tguns · 2024-11-27T17:16:37.224Z

I think that’s the real lesson here…had Lanny simply followed proper fire extinguishing etiquette, po po wouldn’t have had reason to beat the ■■■■ out of him.

So kids, remember you classifications of fire…or your friendly representative of government authority may bust your lip.

TheRedComet · 2024-11-27T18:11:56.791Z

The beatings will continue until morale improves comrade!

Not a smart move on homeowner part…but damn. This beating is for your damn good.

I think it would have been great to be in the room with the grand jury when the prosecutor realized things had taken an unexpected turn.

TheRedComet · 2024-11-27T18:25:41.092Z

He probably ■■■■ his pants.

“Well that wasn’t the way this was supposed to go. We beat that citizen for his own good. Why are we suddenly the villains here?”

Came home from a weekend away once. The back up battery on the sump was sounding, so I went down to the utility room straight away.

■■■■■■■ furnace was on fire. Of course at first glance I thought there must have been a gas leak and the whole thing was gonna blow up! But then I saw it was the electrical to and from the thermostats/servos. No idea how they caught fire, but the plastic covering was really making tall flames that lapped on the joists.

Ran upstairs to get the extinguisher while screaming ‘call 911!’ like a lunatic.

Back down and dowsed it out.

It really was only two wires, but the size of the flame was incredible.

So lucky that:

We didn’t come home a minute later than we did
The sump battery alarm was going off
The extinguisher had a good charge

We have like two extinguishers in every room now…
