Once the car went into the water, the behavior or personalities of the occupants does not matter. All that matters is whether or not the cops did the right thing.
So let's see, it's dark and that lake is murky and deep (I've read it's around 15 ft deep at some points). So no cop there chose to do something wildly dangerous. No crazy heroes stepped forward.
And I given the situation, I'm OK with that. It's tragic, but the cops did nothing wrong there. After all, there are some building fires that are so bad that even brave firemen choose not to enter.

I took a lifeguard class when I was 16. Most drowning victims will grab their rescuer in a bear hug which could result in both people drowning.

You forgot the cottonmouths and alligators that frequently inhabit these lakes around here.

I basically agree. However, if they publicly lied about what they did, then they are probably in for some trouble that should have been completely unnecessary.

I agree, I just wish the department had not said they entered the lake and attempted rescue if they did not. If the video doesn’t match statements a jury may give them a settlement that they sure don’t deserve.
