they said that they were not trained to jump into the pond so couldnt jump in to try and rescue the kid???
so they just stood there and watched him drown! fucking cunts the pair of them! (sorry about the swearing but........)
i wouldnt want to be caught dead in the same grave as me.

And you're surprised?
They're not officially trained police, they're just like temps... secondly, things are difficult now that you could be sued for anything you do... it makes people think twice before doing anything, and in this case that was enough for the kid to die.

i know that they are not "proper police" they are police helpers more than anything.
but to just stand there and watch a kid drown in 6 feet of water? that is sick! im surprised a mobile fone video of it isnt on you tube, supplied by one of them!
2 fishermen jumped in and rescued his sister, are they being sued for not also rescuing the the kid too? NO. which is what you would expect going by your comment karma (not flaming ya, just pissed off with the PC bullshit that surrounds the case).

they may not be no, but what if they'd dragged the boy out and crippled him or something, could have been sued then.
The whole PC thing is bullshit I know, but trouble is that there are too many people waiting to take advantage of anything they can. Sueing people these days is like winning the lottery.

i know what you are saying, and sadly i agree.
but on your point, they could be sued for not rescuing him after rescuing the girl.

Kiwi back at home!
One report I read had a cop saying he wouldn't of expected/wanted even a fully trained officer to go in as they wouldn't of been able to fully predict the dangers........

Fuck me... that's just so wrong.
What sort of person can do something like that?
Hell, I ended up with a broken wrist once because I stayed with a patient who was badly injured, and in a hazardous situation. Would do the same again... though the 6 weeks in plaster sucked :-)
The world is seriously fucked up when people are reluctant to step up and try to save a life...
Hardcore Biker
only the fucking police, thats who.
*disclaimer; not ALL the police are like that, just most of the useless scum.

There isn't enough information in that story to form an educated opinion on the matter.
Who knows why they didn't jump in, perhaps they froze in fear, perhaps there was something else the media (read: fuckwits) easily ommitted.
Perhaps two other people in the same situation would have done the same thing.
Why do people blame first, then recognise tragedies later? It's bad enough being in a PC world without having people furthering it by looking for someone to attack. Something the media is exceptionally good at.

"The alarm was raised and the PCSOs arrived on the scene. Police said they could see no sign of Jordon in the water, so they radioed trained officers for help."
That implies that he was already under. What do you people expect the police to do? Jump in there and search for the boy as they hold their breath?
I think you people have seen one too many movies.
It's not like they watched him struggle on the surface and refused to go in the water.
Blood - just give it!
No, but it is horribly inaccurate and misleading. With the shit our force are copping, you're beginning to sound like a NZ reporter.
So suddenly, two "police" did NOT watch a kid drown?
This was in the UK - good on you for managing to tar every officer in every country all over the world with the same brush for actions NOT taken by 2 guys who weren't even cops.
You're a fucking legend.

Soooo.... where were the parents? Why were they not doing their job and supervising their kids when playing around water? Pisses me off when parents expect others to look after the welfare of their kids when they don't themselves.
Wherever I may roam
Think though mate, how often were you out on your own when you were 10? I know I used to run rampant with my mates all over the place whether down the beach or in the bush and plenty of things could have happened to us alot further from help than a city pond.
I think it's sad that these part-time cops are being flamed for getting there, finding he'd gone under and called for backup. It's not like they watched him thrashing around on the surface. If they'd got there and got in the water and found the body straight away, they'd be commended for their quick actions.
The police are just people like us, not gods although it seems some of them think they are.
"I came into this game for the action, the excitement... go anywhere, travel light,... get in, get out,... wherever there's trouble, a man alone... Now they got the whole country sectioned off; you can't make a move without a form."
Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.
Freakin' hippy
They weren't police and they did not watch the kid drown. He was already out of sight under water when they arrived.
"Police (the PCSO's) said they could see no sign of Jordon in the water, so they radioed trained officers for help."
