    "So that others may live" is the motto for the US Coast Guard's rescue swimmers. It is also a creed for many in law enforcement, fire protection, military, etc... From what I read of this man's character, demonstrated by his selfless act, I'm sure he has the courage of his convictions, and will take on this bureaucratic department stupidity with no regrets for his actions. The media, and family of the rescued, should excoriate the department publicly for any disciplinary action taken against such a heroic act. Give them enough bad PR, and they'll back down.

    As a rescuer, securing ones own safety is part of the procedure. However, life doesn't always go by the book. Sometimes one must act now irregardless of the danger, and we should be thankful that there are people willing to do so.

    Amen.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.
