SAN ANTONIO -- A father was tazed by San Antonio police while trying to save his infant boy from a house fire.

The incident occurred at around 2:30 a.m. Sunday during a house fire in the 100 block of Morningview Drive.

Investigators said the parents of the eight-month-old boy had dropped off their children at their grandparents' house. Somehow, a fire got started inside the home shortly thereafter.

The grandparents managed to grab one boy and rush to safety. That's when they realized one boy was still trapped inside.

Emergency crews and the children's parents arrived on the scene at around that time.

The boy's father tried several times to enter the burning home, but police held him back and ended up tazing him. SAPD said it was for his own safety.

The infant died from injuries sustained during the blaze.

Unfuckingbelievable

For his own safety? What about a grown man making his own decision on whether to risk his own life to save his son?
Freedom is a foreign concept to some.

It's the quality of life police. You will comply and enjoy life the way we tell you to, without trying to save your own flesh and blood... oh, and it's also very clearly spelled out in our rules and regs how we can "help" you.

Charge the cops with involuntary manslaughter. I'm all in favor.

I'm sure this is just a coincidence (and not a sign of any kind of trend or larger phenomenon) ...

Words can't describe how despicable an act that was. The cop deserves to die.
