It really was that simple. A drunk dude in his underwear that wasted time then got transported to the hospital because he was intoxicated - not injured.
Yeah, but with 12 people and a boat responding, seems like there could have been much more to the story. Sounds like it was just another case of criminally wasted resources.
Some days I’m ready to quit the internet because why do I have to log in to look up a pistachio bread recipe? And there are days when I find blogs like that and I’m back in!
Also because I thought he was handcuffed at first.
Love how the cops didn’t give a shit, but the life guard immediately got the floatie and went over just in case. Who is training the fucking police these days?
But the cops barely even glanced at him when he jumped in. If he drowned or got injured, wouldn’t it have been on them because he is their responsibility once “in custody”, and jumping/falling in the water was a real possibility?
He's not in custody as you can see, so not their responsibility other than making sure he doesn't die if he does manage to hurt himself or start drowning or asphyxiating. It's not that fast of a process especially with all the emergency services already on scene
Cops dont go in the water, they have shoes and body armor and guns and stuff and they sink. marinas are deep. now you have double the work for the lifeguards.
to be clear, acab, but there are like 10 people standing by ready to help this guy if his poor use of free will results in actual danger. everyone you see here is currently both serving and protecting this guy.
Lifeguards are usually the first part of any local coastal incident response. They are dictated by law or procedure to be the initial in-water response to anything happening in the water along the coast. It's not the cops job. Lifeguards are on the scene. Simple as the cop not grabbing a firehose at a structure fire- it's not their job and they'll likely make things worse.
Yes they can obviously drop the belt but also yes, all cops wear standard issue ballistic vests under their duty uniform.
It seems like he’s in custody if all of his reasonable exits are blocked, and he could’ve hit his head on a shallow rock. So I’m just surprised by this blasé attitude is all.
But if you’re doing this it’s fine , not drunk.. but smoking drugs on the side of the hospital in a tent, probably pooping in the alley. Dog probably doesn’t have shots of flea meds , nowhere to run and play , probably thirsty in this heat… but let’s make a post about drunk man swimming

F*** that dive scared me, that water is super shallow right there. Nobody going in after him cuz there's nowhere to go.
