Topic	Man drowns as officers look on without coming to his aid
Anticyclonic 06/11/20 2:37:23 PM #136:	I used to be on a rescue squad. We were trained to keep a distance with drowning people and grab the person from behind, and even how to kick them back if they get too close because a drowning person will climb you and drown you in order to save themselves. We can have a discussion about if officers should receive such training and equipment to carry out these rescues, despite virtually never needing it, but placing the blame on individual officers in this scenario is not something I agree with. --- If this signature appears blue, you need to consider not doing whatever it is you're doing. <cite>Anticyclonic posted [p:940506199] in Man drowns...
