Firing tasers at man threatening to kill himself and burn down house with other people present, as he stood in bedroom that smelled of gas, holding gas can, poured gas over himself, and held an object in his hand that appeared to be a lighter, causing him to burst into flames causing his death, did not constitute excessive force, despite officer’s warning that use of taser would light man on fire.
