But absolutely I think on Sunday afternoon the Police who attended had an absolute duty to do all they could to try and rescue the children and if it entailed risking their own lives to do it then so be it, if you don't want to be exposed to risk then working in the emergency services isn't a job for you.
r do the job you are paid to do which you know carries an element of risk
I think you are a bit of a mission creep here - no one has said that the Police don’t have any duty to assist members of the public in danger.I didn't ever say the Police on the scene didn't attempt to rescue the children I merely said it's there job to do so and it is. Being in the Police / Fire Brigade comes with an element of risk such as Sunday afternoon in Solihull.
But you started out saying that ‘they have a duty to risk their lives’. They don’t- they have a duty to protect life including their own.
Do you honestly think a fire Chief looking at a burning building and assesses it to be very near total collapse is going to send his fire crew into the building to rescue a kid on the 3rd floor?
