Two English policemen jumped into a pool fully-clothed this week to arrest a man who complained that children had splashed him.
The police said the incident on Tuesday was a potentially "high-risk environment", The Telegraph reported.
The man in his 50s shouted at a group of youths after apparently being
splashed and then refused to get out of the public pool in Bournemouth.
Eight police arrived to deal with the swimmer and two officers jumped in and hauled the man out of the water.
In footage shot on a mobile phone, the policemen can be seen wading
towards the middle-aged man and dragging him to the edge of the pool
where at least four more officers were waiting with handcuffs.
Police later said no offence had been committed but did not apologise.
Onlooker Sharese Taylor, 19, said the man had been shouting "get out of my way" and swearing.
"The lifeguard asked him to leave but he refused to," she said.
"It took about four policemen to hold him down.
"It was ridiculous that so many police turned up and that two of them went into the water.
"It seemed a bit over the top."
Another woman, who did not wish to be named, said three boys had been "antagonising" the man and laughed as he was arrested.
A Dorset Police spokeswoman said they had responded to reports of an aggressive man shouting and swearing.
"There were concerns for the safety of members of the public as the
events were taking place in a public swimming pool," she said.
"The officers in attendance were faced with a potentially high-risk
environment to work in where positive action was essential to prevent a
breach of the peace."
The spokeswoman said no further action was taken afterwards as it was "not deemed in the public interest".
Police would not say how many officers were deployed or whether the man had been splashe

@Rothschad It is possible that those police support officers could not swim. If they could they are cowards and scum.

Yes, spot on. Those spastic community support officers have been involved in similar cases. Not had any training in saving drowning children in water no deeper than Tom thumbs dick. Fact.

PCSO's are not bound by the same rules in saving life and limb as Police officers. However no officers have to complete lifesaving training any more or be able to swim.
The case you refer to was near Wakefield/Barnsley and the child was not drowning, the child had already drowned and could not be located. Just shows the calibre of the PCSO's, pay peanuts get monkeys.You can get one fully trained officer for the price of 1.5 chimps (Cannot Help In Most Policing Situations)

What, I mean, I know today's police standards are low, but to accept anyone into the force who cannot swim?!?
I totally do not believe that!

Nothing, the water is too great a mass. Tasers have voltage, but very little ampage.

@skerne
Its mass doesn't matter since the electrical current would've taken the shortest way with the least resistance between the electrodes in any circumstance. ;)

@deathOfHeavyD That much water has to much resistance in it and to many contacts to ground, it would be useless.

Hmm, I'm afraid you got something wrong - water has a relatively low resistance, that's why it's such a good conduit.
A taser works because current is flowing between the taser's metal tips. If that current hurts someone it is BECAUSE OF the relatively HIGH resistance of someone's body tissue. ;-)
If we were made of stuff that has low resistance tasers would be quite useless against people.

The police are recruited from society, therefore they are an unfortunate reflection of society

@skerne Not quite, the people that they turn INTO police are recruited from society,some of them are actually fairly normal until they are subjected to the groupthink training and leave the training facility seeing everyone around them as a potential "crime report".

Yeah, so... it's okay to UTTERLY DESTROY the public's belief in the state's goodwill and striving for peace inorder to, well, prevent a breach of the peace.
Yeah, I get it now.
