Marine patrol officer drowns because he could not swim

[Presentation]

This would be funny if it were not for the tragic loss of life.

A marine constable (officer) falls out of a boat and drowned because he could not swim.

Three additional marine constables were there but could not help because none of them could swim either.

Ridiculous...he had no damn business in that line of work. Sounds like the United States where we lower standards to let people into jobs they are not physically or mentally capable of doing.

Hopefully he was a Lawyer moonlighting as a rent-a-cop...

I've been surprised recently, discovering the number of people out boating that cannot swim AT ALL!

Why would you even apply for a job like that? If someone goes in the drink, would they just stand and watch? Apparently they would because NONE of them could swim? They couldn't throw a life preserver in? I can't even believe this! A normal human being would throw a rope, throw a life preserver, manuever the boat over, but they would do SOMETHING? Wouldn't you be wearing your life preserver if you couldn't swim?

Between local law enforcement and Game and Wildlife we have at least five different law enforcement groups on our lake (from both North and South Carolina) and I think every law enforcement officer I have ever seen was wearing an inflatable PFD. It only makes sense in their line of work because even if you can swim, you can't predict the situations you might encounter on the water that could cause you to drown if you don't have one on.

The Indian called the help desk and got an American and could not understand the instruction. After cursing about always getting a foreigner on the help desk he hung up.

(Sorry, tension breaker, had to be done....)
