Swift water rescue requires highly specialized training and proper gear.
Rule # 1: “Don’t become part of the problem”
So what the bleep was the Mom doing to keep her krakhead kid out of trouble. All in all, if the story is close to accurate I’d be for chucking momma in too. Blaming dumbass behavior on the cops seems a stretch?
Yes, don’t become an additional victim.
I’d have to see the conditions to comment more, but water is
nothing to mess around with if it is moving quickly.
Advising others not to risk their lives for this guy, was
probably a reasoned move.
Look, I dnn’t want to see the guy die, but he made his choice
and his family should FO.
