I'm not really all that interested in the politics involved, uniform or no uniform, to me, it would be human instinct to help someone who was drowning if you were able.
So yes... I'd do.

Three students risked their lives by jumping into a river to save a drowning woman - after police refused to rescue her as it was not their 'responsibility'.It is the responsibility of every Police Officer to '...protect life....' Every Officer swears to that in front of a magistrate when he takes office.
He is told that that means his own life as well. I was not there I do not know if I would have jumped in, I think I would have given what I read.

could the policemen swim?
A relevant question surely,as i would be useless in this situation,i can swim,but not well enough to rescue anyone.
This story suggests that it is up to the individual policeman,as it would be up to all of us,to make the decision at the time.
That about sums it up Kaz.

Last year a lady walking her dog near a swollen river in our town, the dog fell in, she went in after the dog to save it. The dog found its way out, sadly she was fished out a day later, dead.
As regard the OP, I think many might try to help, but one has to be careful not to become a casualty your self or make matters worse for the trained rescuers

Another great story from the paper that supports the blackshirts. You know what's missing from that article? Any evidence the police actually refused to help. They've explained why they did what they did, but no-one's said they've refused to help. Yes, the controlled crowds on the bridge, but who wouldn't?
The paper that supports he blackshirts appear to have got the story from the Glasgow Herald, and they appear to have a bit of a campaign running over a row between an amateur lifesaver called George Parsonage and the Strathclyde fire and rescue system - looks like slandering the police is just collateral damage and another day's good work for the paper that says Hurray for Hitler.

I watched it on the Scottish news last night and they interviewed the students who were very diplomatic about the involvement of the police commenting that they had equipment etc. therefore jumping into the Clyde was perhaps not the best course of action but that they controlled the crowd.
Doesn't really make any odds though... the woman was saved and that's what's important, perhaps a little embarrassing for the police but not the end of the world.

But do we know if any of the Police could swim well enough to rescue the woman.......
Also ,it seems as though the health and safety brigade are involved.
There was a case in London when the police persued a thief onto a roof and one of the constables fell through said roof and the Chief Constable was prosecuted under health and safety ....Now they are not allowed to chase them incase the same happens again.

You will find he was found not guilty. It was a test case to allow the police to do their job of protecting the public without being liable for prosecution everytime an officer was doing his duty.
So they were prosecuted-yes. And they are allowed to chase criminals onto roofs if it is safe to do so i.e. they make a dynamic risk assessment on the ground. That means they use their training, knowledge, experience to decide if that roof with broken tiles would hold the weight of the 16 stone police officer. If he decides it can't then he don't go, if he thinks it will then he pursues. It also depends on the crime, if it was murder then I suspect the officer will err on catching him, if it was nicking a pint of milk off the doorstep then he may just wait for the scrote to fall through the roof and pick the pieces up after
