to play devils advocate here, they were community officers, so were basically voluntters and were working for free.
plus the "pond" was 6ft deep and would have had weeds and sludge at the bottom which could have caught the officers under water!
if i have ever done anything that meant overlooking events and such like, i have always been told "above all else, make sure you are safe before attempting to save others"...
Said on the news that the kid was not visible when they arrived and was underwater somewhere. Also said they only had 2 fishermen pointing roughly at a spot in the lake to guide them......kind of begs the question, why didn't the fishermen help when he was still visible if they watched him go under??
Was like that one on Police Camera Action the other night - those 2 guys jumped in the harbour but they didn't know where to look - the guy was dead by the time the fireman fished him out.
