[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 3793215, member: 1132"] Perhaps it wouldn't be tiresome if these events weren't happening so frequently? I know I judge each situation on the pros and cons of the event. I've been heavily critical of the local Uvalde response, because they screwed the pooch badly. I've been very pro TPD on their St. Francis response and while I think the Tempe PD could've been a bit more empathetic (at least in appearance), their actions were correct for the situation. The very video OP posted quotes the transcripts of the event and apparently the officers DID call for a rescue boat. At that point they've met the minimum requirements of duty. Could they have searched for other means of rescue nearby, which didn't place them in great physical danger? Sure, but we don't know how well they were aware of their surroundings and I'm not going to judge there. So three cases, three different levels of support or condemnation. Yes there are a few ACAB and a few ACAG (great). But the discussion is important because at the end of the day, police agencies are not in charge. We The People are in charge. Everyone in the community needs to remember this on occasion. JMO, YMMV [/QUOTE]
