“He can’t swim dispatch, let’s appoint a committee to see what we should do next”.
I just LOVE (some) committees!
Does that constitute “self deporting”?
How stupid do you have to be to jump off of a bridge into a river if you can’t swim?
Maybe the drugs had worn off and he could no longer fly?
Given that there’s traces of snow still left on the ground and the cop is probably weighed down by 50 lbs of gear, including a bullet-proof jacket that most definitely does NOT double as a life preserver, I sure as hell wouldn’t jump in either. Plus, not entirely clear, but doesn’t appear to be much of a shoreline either, so no real chance to climb out. So, basically, fuck him.
I would love to see a show like ‘Cops’ with more of these.
Just one bad decision after another…
Just another Darwinian filters in play. Hopefully no resources were wasted in thwarting the filter.

Shit, maybe for the year.
Forgot his water wings.
I just love a happy ending.
And I thought Amish were smarter than that. Good thing, it reduces the gene pool.
Speaking of jumping into a river…
A few years ago husband and I had weighed anchor in a nearby big river and were fishing for bait fish so that we could catch striped bass. I thought I heard someone yell help. Husband didn’t hear it so back to fishing. Heard it again. Surveyed the area again and noted blue flashing lights and people peering over the edge of a nearby bridge. I think someone is in the river. He pulled anchor and hightailed it in that direction. Came across a man in the river, flailing and barely able to keep his head above water. I threw him a life ring and he was not able to grab it. Husband threw the boat in neutral and went starboard. As we glided past the man, he leaned way over the edge and snagged the man. The man was limp, moaning and deadweight. Husband was not able to pull him onboard. Fortunately, two DNR boats pulled along side. Took the husband and two DNR police to pull him out of the river.
The rest of the story. The man was being pursued by police for drug related charges. He got boxed in by police on the bridge. He exited his vehicle and jumped almost 90 feet into the river. He was lucky to be alive but I’m sure he was pretty fucked up. On a positive note, we caught our limit of striped bass that day. 😁

“Can’t swim?”
Well good luck then
