So he willingly puts his life in danger as most dads would without even a thought, and the cops tase him to ‘protect his life’ and let the kid die.

In other words, you would prefer that he was dead and that his wife were a widow and his other child fatherless?

By the way, the only people who let the child die were the stepfather and the the child's mother - they fled the house and left the child inside.

By the time police and fire arrived, the child was already dead.

“By the time police and fire arrived, the child was already dead.”

I must have missed this in the article.

I did do a Google on this subject and found several articles, some details conflicting, but did find:

“Ryan said his son was still breathing when officials carried him out of the house, which means that for the last few moments of Riely’s life, his dad was sitting in a jail cell.”

Now from this threads article:

“The boy’s body was eventually found 12 to 15 feet from the front door.

“How they all just stood around and waited for the fire department, what kind of police officer wouldn’t try to save a 3-year-old burning in a house?” Emily Miller said.”

I would say the father made a pretty good judgement call to begin with, and the cops, with no donuts to eat or dogs to shoot decided this guy would be good targe practice.

I have a friend in Phenix City, Alabama who arrived home from work to see his home in flames with his young children and wife out but his mother still inside. He crawled inside over broken glass and below a thick blanket of smoke carrying only a flashlight and retrieved his mother who suffered from severe burns and smoke inhalation.

When it was noted that he went inside while the pros did not he said, “it was not their Mama inside.”

“By the way, the only people who let the child die were the stepfather and the the child’s mother - they fled the house and left the child inside.”

The boy was in a front room, they had to exit by the back door. The father then attempted to enter through the front door ... only about 12 feet from his son.

“By the time police and fire arrived, the child was already dead.”

Wrong.

I suspect a shameful episode in your past.
