Should police be required to save this man who drowned?

Playing too much Red Dead Redemption 2 there gs.

The police can barely handle a gun and you want to saddle them with extra equipment to up even more. Lol

[Spurminator]

Not even in the top 250 concerns with regard to law enforcement protocols.

[MultiTroll]

so you've gone from wanting to equip cop cars with ropes and floaties to now having an auto gizmo?

You and wreck think it's too complicated and costly.

Just as ridiculous as cops not protecting and serving AKA doing their jobs.

Saving a drowning person isn’t a cop’s job, especially when the idiot jumped in himself after being told not to multiple times.

Not to mention what is a cop supposed to do with his gun and gear and bullet proof vest while he’s in the water.

”Hey don’t touch all my stuff and especially not my radio or my gun! brb”

They should've swam out to him and then shot him because they feared for their safety.

Or just shot each other while yelling ALL lives matter.

no. Let the idiot win his Darwin Award.

But seriously, only the biggest idiot on the entire continent could have drowned in the middle of the ing Sonoran Desert. how does that actually happen?

[Trill Clinton]

Not saying he should have jumped in if he couldn't swim, but cops should be prepared for drowning scenarios. Flotation devices should be in their trunk to throw at someone in distress if they cant safely swim to them. I thought cops had to take a swim test as part of their training? I wonder if the person was a big tied PAWG would the officer jump in?

Anyways, this has me thinking of the swim scene from police academy.

They should've swam out to him and then shot him because they feared for their safety.

Attempting a water rescue without prior training can be dangerous for the would-be rescuer, and organizations that teach water safety often emphasize the phrase "Throw, Don't Go." According to the Red Cross, the "one thing you do not want to do" when helping a drowning person is to "jump in the water to help."
