I could make comments about the police officer being a female.. But I wont.. I do wonder if she had blond hair though.. haha.,.

The pepper spray canister and the fire extinguisher are both painted red, police said.


The police bureau is considering changes to the labeling and placement of the pepper spray and fire extinguisher canisters to avoid confusion in the future.

I guess changing the color of the pepper spray cants, would make more sense, but lets talk about changing the labels...

At what point do you expect that a person is just going to set himself on fire in the middle of downtown?

Easy mistake to make, specially when the canisters pretty much look the same.

Not like it helped or hurt him. Full thickness burns can't feel anything, even pain.

Plus, he was sprinting away from any help as fast as he could till the end.
