First Responders Embarrassed.....Or Should Be

Drowning in 4 feet of water.
Ask any member of the 82nd Airborne if a paratrooper can drown in shallow water.

With a policy like that, I would have taken off my FD jacket, said "I'm going on break" and gone after the guy to save him. I could never just sit and watch someone perish.

for me it depends, emotional crap meh thier choice, now it they were in obvious distress yea id do something.

and yes i know u can drown on 4 feet of water but really comon he waded out there standing up...not like a paratrooper that can get tangled in the cords

Everybody's making it sound like it would be one-on-one rescuer/rescuee- wouldn't there be like 40 guys standing around watching? Would it even be possible for the rescuee to endanger them then? Lassoo the guy like a steer and drag him in.

lol true, but we dont have the whole story, me thinks there were other factors...

[bowtieguy]

details, yes? this local story...http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/06/04...-murder-trial/ making national news is missing details.

still, the mother knows something, whether she was involved or not. i'd give her the needle if she didn't confess to something of interest and use!
