Topic	Man drowns as officers look on without coming to his aid

I agree that anyone saying "well he was a criminal" is wrong, but you can defend this particular inaction of the cops without needing to insult the drowning victim. Him being a suspect does play into the situation in this case imo. They were already in conflict with the suspect, and at least one of them was suspicious because the guy appeared to be a good swimmer up until he stopped and drowned. That is a different situation than coming across some random guy (or as said before a 12 year old) drowning in a lake. The police themselves even said they probably would have attempted to help the guy if they weren't worried about him trying to pull the officers under. --- <insert sig here> <cite>Jabodie posted [p:940501723] in Man drowns...
