This is quite interesting..I'd like to know more about it...if he were in an organised group..where the pool staff advised of this.
I accept that he was in danger of drowning and he had to be removed from the pool for his own safety...I would like to know more details as on this article alone..as no one else appeared to be in danger or at risk..and the police officers presumably were of hefty size...I wouldn't have thought the handcuffs and cage were necessary..I would have hoped that there was someone in his group to accompany and calm him...as I say..I'm not privvy to all of the details and facts.
