Hell, it was a tiny pond. The car probably settled into the muck on the bottom.
Yes, thats what cars do after they sink into a pond.
That certainly comports with the notion that it took the car 15minutes to sink. You can't put cops out there in that muck with oxygen tanks. They could get stuck in the muck and drown. Further, if the water was cold as alleged then the cops would be in danger of hypothermia.
Of course they cant be out there with Oxygen tanks. Also they cant be out there making up stories about how they did things that they did not do.
Notwithstanding any ex post facto misrepresentations by the police, they clearly exercised good solid judgment in not trying to get into that muck to rescue those bitches. Hell, for all they knew the bitches could of been armed, on top of everything else. The op is a fuckwit.
Edit: I meant to say that you cannot expect cops to go out there in that mucky shit without oxygen tanks.
You just said there might be muck. Then said they shouldnt go out into the muck you just said might be there but cant confirm. Additionally they cant exercise good judgement of the situation if they never stepped foot in it to see if it was a danger or not.
Maybe it was dangerous....maybe it wasnt.
One thing is for sure, they didnt dive in to save them like the Sheriff claimed. And he shouldnt have made up the story. Period
