No duty to protect...what would you expect from a government that left its citizens being in Afghanistan?

 

[Jgunner]

Look, i am all for bashing anyone who has it coming, but not only did that dude gonin on his own free will, but for all the officers know, he was baiting them in to try and drown them. Dude is 250# easy, how you gonna get his ass up that ledge?

 

[Inifinty]

Asking for death jumping in near a damn with active spillway. I wouldn't jump with out a rope tied off and a flotation device.

Not that there was time for one to get there, but did they not at least call for a water rescue team?

 

[DarnYankeeUSMC]

If you don't have training, lifeguard swim training, and a floatation device a drowning 120 lb woman is going to pull you down.
I will side with the po po this time. With all their clothes and gear they would be a lead weight going to the bottom. Nevermind a grown man grasping for anything to save themselves.
That's why lifeguards take a can with them. They will stay out of reach and toss it to the person.

Since i know the lake well: there really isn’t any current or an active spillway. Its a shallow lake but it gets over your head. There is a ledge at the water line depending on water level it can be a couple feet vertical.

They taught us that if we got grabbed, just sink, theyll let you go. Fortunately I never had to find out.

What happened to my body my choice?

 

[Haney]

Well he played a stupid game and won a stupid prize.
I doubt it is in the SOP for the officer go in the water?
The guy wasn’t a victim of anything. The guy wasn’t putting anyone else in danger.

Fucking Troll, holy fuck you are dumb fuck !

No, they're smart enough not to die.

Dude went into the water, and they advised him that wasn't allowed. They were waiting him out until he came back to shore.

They would have had to go strip all their gear, and then still most likely get drowned.


Go watch the body cam video. They were there because of a domestic call. Dude straight up just said "I'm going for a swim" after he was already on the bank. They weren't going to escalate the situation.


Now if they had escalated and arrested him "for his own safety" everyone would be crying about a wrongful arrest.

 

[chevy_man]

Fucking Troll, holy fuck you are dumb fuck !

He's right.


Are you a certified rescue swimmer?

Do you regularly swim with a 40lb belt and kevlar vest?


Cops don't swim for a reason.


Sometimes Darwin wins. After watching the body cam the world didn't lose anything.

I thought the Japanese were good swimmers, diving for sponges and seaweed and shit.

Are you sitting in front of a mirror or something? Quality self reflection, I give you a round of applause.

 

[EddieNFL]

Why didn't his wife go after him?

I jumped in a pond to save a drowning young man that thought he could swim across. I only had to swim him 50 yards or so to the bank coaching him along the way to try and swim or we would both drown. I went under many times along the way. He was in full panic mode before I hit the water. This was a long time ago.

Similar experience, thank God is wasn't that far.
They'll climb you like a cat up a tree.
Fuckers face was straight terror, no screaming.

I was told you come up from behind and yoke them around the neck and side swim, keeping their face pointed up.

I'm sure thats all easier said than done.

I was a ocean LG for a few years in college.

Agree with all the guys who have done it…

They will drown you in less than a minute if you don’t pay attention.

I actually had to knock a guy out one time.

He was way to far in the rip current, I was busting my ass to get out there.

After struggling to get him on the damn torpedo he some how tore it off my wrist and it got away.

Now we’re a more than a few hundred yards off shore and he’s still flipping out trying to kill us both.

My partner is on his way out but didn’t get in the rip current so he was much slower to the scene.

I was running out of gas so I actually punched him a few times in the face and he was dazed for a few seconds.

When he woke up as I was starting to drag him in, he was finally a little calmer. Partner showed up and I passed him off.

He didn’t remember most of it bsck at the beach as he was so pumped from the fight or flight going on in his body.

I looked like I fought a bobcat. I was scratched to shit.

 

[theLBC]

you'd be surprised how many people can't swim. or maybe you wouldn't be...
i would have gone in, but i have some training...
the police have training and can all swim at an advanced level?
hell, is being in some kind of shape even a requirement anymore?

They can see you coming, gotta be prepared to fight them to save them.

Got lucky and got him in a one handed head lock.

[gonzaga]

After watching that video I would have jumped in the lake to get away from that psycho woman.....
I cant blame the cops for not going in....

I was thinking more along the lines of gun belt, taser, vest, all that shit they'd have to strip off and drop so they don't sink.


Everyone knows fat floats, these guys weren't nearly fat enough.

It’s actually muscle “sinks”

I’m still very active and swim but have prob put on 35-40 pounds 80- 90% muscle from those days. I was always lean, just got lucky with generics.

And I can’t even come close to swimming as fast or well as I could back then.

So....generically skinny.

Do you look in the mirror when you spout this drivel?

You are the literal definition of a troll. Even more than I am.

At least we like you.

 

[HMRamateur]

Cops should have tased him first then pulled him out. Easier to save a stiff body, I bet. You might even get lucky and be able to pull him closer to shore by the wires, if they don't pull out.

 

[Bender]

I troll, but with truth LOL
