For a full minute, police (unknown sector, maybe fed or DC) see him, say “May I help you sir?” and as he’s on fire scream at him to get on the ground but do not otherwise engage. One cop appears with a gun drawn on the man after he collapses, still consumed by flames.

It's incredible just how fearful US cops are. The training must be pure psychological torture.

I knew someone who was in the US military who had PTSD despite never seeing live combat, AFAIK. The conditioning is unbelievable.
