In Scotland, police stood by while a woman nearly drowned, because it wasn't their job to do rescue.
A police spokesman said: ‘A 37-year old woman jumped into the Clyde and was rescued by a member of the public prior to the arrival of the emergency services.
‘As a matter of procedure it’s not the responsibility of the police to go in the water, it’s the Fire and Rescue service.’
Good thing that there were three civilians nearby who didn't suffer such qualms about waiting for those with the proper responsibility for rescue. I suppose they're lucky they weren't arrested for rescuing the woman without proper permission.
