Can’t blame them for stopping him or him wanting to save his son but come on if a couple of cops can’t keep a man who is already restrained from getting up off the ground then they need some retraining.

No firefighter nor police should be able to "restrain" a father, mother, grandparent or other from attempting to save a child, spouse or other family member.

What in the world has happened to this country - attempting to be the nanny of everything and everyone, not only determining what someone should or should not do in situations like this?

What has happened to sacrifices to preserve human life?

We had firefighters and emergency personnel stand by while someone drowned in a local lake, on the premise that "it was too dangerous for them to save the life of a drowning teenager."

Have they never heard of lifelines?

Thankfully, many of our forefathers never had such reservations toward acts of heroism.

Imagine how "authorities" might respond today to those brave souls at the Alamo? Today, they'd all be arrested, tased, held for militancy and defiance of "authorities (aka liberals who "know better" what is best for everyone!)

Whether it is police refusing to act or police/firefighters determining that a loving parent desires to save a child, we have far, far too many people with a "god delusion," making decisions, then forcing those decisions on everyone.

In my opinion, tasters are being used by far too many "authorities" against a free people exercising their God given rights to not be assaulted!
