 it seems that sometimes the cops get a bit out of order and burn someone without warning or even definable reason;


OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. — For the first time, we are hearing from the family of a motorcyclist burned in an explosive confrontation with Osceola County deputies at an Orange County gas station.

The stepmother of motorcyclist Jean Barreto, 26, spoke only to Channel 9 about everything that’s happened in the nearly three months since the fire burned 75% of Barreto’s body.

Surveillance video from the Wawa captured the moment an Osceola County deputy tackled Barreto off his bike at a gas pump. Deputies said he was part of a group of motorcyclists who had pointed a gun at and harassed other drivers.

The state fire marshal said the deputy’s Taser sparked the fire that left Barreto in critical condition.

Barreto’s stepmother, Frances Aponte, said she had to demand to see Barreto that night in the hospital and that doctors told her he was unlikely to survive the next day.

At the time, she said the family didn’t know what happened, why Barreto was in the hospital or why deputies were standing guard at the door outside his room at the hospital.

She said almost three months later she still doesn’t know. Barreto has never been charged or arrested.........read and watch more..........
