Body camera shows as deputies were attempting to escort 82-year-old Anthony Goulding’s wife out of the home, Goulding began pouring gasoline on the carpet outside of a back bedroom.

Goulding’s right arm catches fire and then he throws a gas canister at the deputy. The flames grow larger.

Goulding passed away in the house fire, along with a dog.

Ok I guess it's hard to focus because you are agitated by this thread, totally understandable.

You make a point about generalising "all people" (which was totally valid btw).

Other commentators point out that cops and landlords aren't "all people" (as in, there are people that exist that are neither cops or landlords), and they're "only" generalising these sub-groups (again, not saying I agree with that either).

Miscomprehension ensues.
