I thought fire fighters rescued people. Were the cops there before the fire dept?
Read about this several days ago. Tragic.
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.
Leave us the (’intercourse’) alone! Let us live our lives! We don’t need the armed extension of the government preventing us from protecting our kids.
God help us, that poor man.
Something similar happened in San Francisco:
There was a suicide attempt drowning in the bay within reach of the shore. Fire and paramedics stood and watched as the union rules and saftey guidelines prevented fire/paramedics from effecting a rescue. The water rescue supposedly fell under the jurisdiction of the Coast Guard. A bystander entered the water and brought the man to shore where paramedics treated him the suicide attempt. The rescuer was cited and I believe arrested for swimmng in an unauthorized area.
This was posted a week ago.
That is so disgusting, I am speechless.
When was , “Talking to Citizens” ,removed from Police Officers training and replaced with shoot first
Too bad the guy didn’t have a dog....the cops would have busted in lookng to shoot the dog and would have found the kid...
Let us role play. If your best judgement was that someone seeking to enter a burning house (raging river, rip tide, tornado, train crossing) would result in an unsuccessful rescue attempt and end with their death would you try to prevent them from attempting the entry?
Maybe you would let a stranger try but would you let a loved one risk certain death attempting to rescue another loved one?
If I was convinced a suicide mission was being attempted I would probably intervene. But then if it was my kid I would gladly die trying. My wife would thank the person stopping me.Go figure.

Most cops are cowards, period. Simply bullies with badges and guns. In this instance which is typical under these circumstances, cops didn’t want themselves to be exposed publically as the cowards they are by a civilian willing to put his life on the line to save a child. CAN’T HAVE THAT ! Same scenario occurred and was hushed up by the Columbine Cowards, who were the Cops!. Parents tried many times to enter school to save their kids but the cops just stood around directing traffic and keeping real adults from doing the cowardly cop’s jobs! Protecting & Saving Each Other’s Lives’ & Pensions is their real motto!
Is it possible the cops were too afraid to go in and didn’t want to be upstaged by the father?
This reminds me of the hostility of the NYPD toward the Guardian Angels, despite the street effectiveness of the latter.
Dreadful. RIP.
