Unfortunately we have bred a generation of unintelligent, oxygen sucking morons, who really should have a bullet put in them to save us a lot of future problems.
Lose a helicopter or a fixed wing aircraft and these moron are regarded as a hero by his dimwitted mates, yet some poor bugger is killed or injured.
Personally the chopper pilot should have slipped around to the police cell paid the guy a visit to make sure that he was alright, that he had warm clothes, something to eat, had contacted his mum and when the sargeant wasn't looking banged his head on the cell wall.
