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.

The sheriff seems to care more about the safety of his deputies than the morality of dragging elderly people out of their home.

If they cared about morality they wouldnt be cops.
