Bad move by the officer regardless of circumstances. More proof if people need any that the police are not there to help you.
“More proof if people need any that the police are not there to help you.”
Why blame the cops? The idiot was warned not to swim in the lake. I dont get anti-=cop conservatives on FR. You hate cops BUT you want them at your doorstep when the sh*t hits the fan. You talk like the ghetto animals from BLM.
Cops know that they cannot go to prison for declining to save you, but can get in trouble for trying.
So, tough. They may have decided the guy would improve the world by departing it.
I’ve had professional life guard certification. If you have never attempted to rescue a swimmer, I assure you you’ve not the first idea of what a physically difficult, nearly exhausting task it is. For an untrained individual to make the attempt is life threatening. Ya don’t just jump in and rescue a guy, and ya don’t fault an untrained non professional for having the good sense to NOT make the attempt. We worked (and trained) with fins on, and it was still difficult.
That’s just the way it is.
