Hero students leap into river to save drowning woman... as police officers REFUSE to help

If the lady in the water started yelling at the police maybe they would've jumped into beat her up and drag her out

A Strathclyde Police spokesman said: 'It is not the responsibility of the police to go into the water - it's the fire and rescue service.'
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^that is despicable beyond description.

Hopefully this kind of thing will not go on for much longer.

Damn Union Rules!

Yeah, it's not their responsibility!

And yet it's their responsibility to shoot dogs?

Maybe they didn't know how to swim.

Someone should push them in the water to find out.

The police had reason to believe the river posed an immediate threat to their well-being. Reasonable force, such as drawing pistols and opening fire on the river, the woman in the river, and all bystanders, would have been justified.

Bunch of cowards!

Hahahahaha

Except that if the cops had gone in, and the woman had died, they would have been sued.

No way to win in this world anymore.

I know someone who saved the life of a child, only to get sued because the child was dead so long before he got to her, that she was brain damaged.

He eventually won, after going into debt defending himself.

It's things like that which make people scared to help others.

This happened in the U.K. though, so maybe they wouldn't have gotten sued, but it might have been possible

The police man in the article who said "it is not our job as policemen to go into the water it's the fire and rescues job", should not be a police man. Sounds like he'd rather sit behind a desk. What a loser !!

that is messed up..still, pretty sure my natural instinct would have over-rode something like that and i'd a just jumped in and tried to drag her out.

fuck the police!

Cold hearted is what they are. They dont feel anything. Only do what they are paid for like robots.

I don't know, you could be right.

I think they were wrong, lazy, and uncaring.

But I also understand the fear some people have with the Gestapo government we have nowdays.

Surely in the UK you need to first buy a license from the local council before performing a heroic act, the fee of which will go towards helping save the environment, which is far more important than, well, anything. Maybe the police on the scene were Pagans and believe that if the river took her, the river should keep her, as is the wish of Mother Earth, or the Kraken, or Thor, or Ragnar, or whatever...

I like this comment posted under the article:

This is the reason the police are becoming more and more evil and care less and less for us. They are told to, by their masters.

Sad thing is, they are building the foundations for their tombs, and they don't even realize it.

Toronto, Canada Police headquarters, freemasonry symbolism, pyramids on roof, pyramid sculpture being built in entrance way, and other strange sites in and around there.

Also, this is a British Tv show series called Ashes to Ashes, depicting the masonic corruption in a police station. The first four minutes has a scene showing how it is done on the inside, and it is quite heinous.

WHAT WOULD HAVE REALLY POLISHED THIS STORY OFF IS IF THE POLICE DID THEIR JOB PROPERLY TO THE LETTER AND PREVENTED THE HERO FROM JUMPIN INTO THE WATER AND SAVING THE WOMAN.

lmao

Maybe they gave him a fine for disturbing the peace?

In America, they would have given both the victim and the hero a ticket and maybe a taser or two, just to show who's boss.
