I’ve said this for over a decade: Anyone who aspires to be a cop today is either ignorant and naive or a brown shirt wannabee.
Or they just need a job - ANY job.

What is with Colorado LEOs? You would have thought they would have learned from Columbine.

Except for when the results show that their “process” has not common sense.
To: Crim
Not to argue with your point, however rushing into a burning building can, and has, created a second victim for the fire dept to deal with if done recklessly. Compounding the situation for the firefighters is never a good idea. In this case, however, the rescuer was certified in the type of rescue he was attempting.

Makes a good ad for Arkansas Adventures, Id say. Agreed! I like this line especially: "You are going to do everything in your power to insure(sic) the safety of your guest, and if that means in Idaho Springs you get arrested, well I guess we'll just get arrested."

If you really want to piss off cops do their job for them , using only backbone and courage.
To: bjorn14
And if the girl had drowned while the “rescue team” was setting up, then the company would have likely been sued and the authorities would be off the hook. Another example of how we are expected to just sit around and wait for “the government” to take care of us. Good thing for this girl and her family that the guide did not do that.

It sounds as though the sheriff didn’t exactly follow procedure either, in as much as no dogs were shot...

After 30 to 45 minutes, that girl was probably very tired, and possibly suffering from hypothermia. The guide was right to save her, or at least prevent her from washing further downstream.

“Bruising the egos of government workers on official business”. That is risky.
To: bcsco
Egos were bruised. All that garbage about jurisdiction is a joke. No juror in their right mind would convict so I hope this person fights these vicious charges right to the end.
To: bjorn14
I guess I'll join the minority on this one. What if the guide had jumped in and ended up in trouble himself? Then there would have been two people in need of rescue. He defied an order from a law enforcement officer.

The rescuer just needs one real American on the jury. I would acquit, regardless of the judge’s instructions.

Bureaucracy gone mad.
But then NYC has been known to have firefighters and police officers fighting over who is in charge of an emergency.

Just imagine if a civilian rescued a bunch of civilians from terrorists before the SWAT team and the news vans arrived.

I was a volunteer fire-fighter for 3 years.
If my house was on fire, I have some training (if no SCBA gear). And - most importantly - I know the lay of the land - the layout of my house, and where my wife has stacked stuff (boxes of donations, and other stuff).
I’d be better off in the house than a fire-fighter who does NOT have any idea the floorplan of my house, or the obstructions.
That said, having the training and using it are two different things.
