PCSOs Not Trained to Save Drowning Children

Here in the States, most local governments have what's called "Good Samaritan" laws, where if you try to help, you're usually exonerated if a disasterous situation occurs. I just don't get how police (or even rent-a-cops) from an England, which last I checked WAS AN ISLAND, don't know how to swim. Even so, they're kids man, if I saw two kids drowning, I'd go for it for sure and just make sure I'm getting enough oxygen in the process.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Crap. I agree with Brady for once. I feel so dirty. ;_;

There's nowhere I can't reach.
