This article is fun,

A police officer chased himself for more than 20 minutes whilst on the look out for someone “acting suspiciously”, it has been revealed.

http://l.yimg.com/os/251/2012/02/07/CCTV-jpg_174646.jpg" width="310"/>The officer chased himself while attempting to find a suspect spotted on CCTV.The probationary officer, from Sussex Police, was undercover checking out an area that had been hit by a spate of burglaries when he was alerted by CCTV operators to a nearby suspect. Unaware that the suspect was himself, the officer set off to track them down – chasing his own tail for more than 20 minutes.

The mistake was only realised after a sergeant inside the CCTV control room recognised the young officer, prompting mass hilarity. The pursuit came to light after a senior officer spoke of the incident to a magazine published by the Police Federation.

“Every time the man darted in to another side alleyway, the PC was turning immediately into the same alleyway, but every time the CCTV operator asked what he could see there was no trace,” the senior officer revealed.

“It was at this point that the sergeant entered the control room where he recognised the junior officer.

“With the sergeant's sides aching from laughter he pointed out to the PC that the operator had been watching him unaware that he was a plain-clothes officer – thus the PC had been chasing himself round the streets,” he added.

Sussex Police also managed to see the funny side of the incident. “Policing is often a serious business, so we all enjoy moments of light relief,” a spokesperson said.

“This story was shared anonymously with the Police Federation magazine, so unfortunately without the date or location, confirming the details and locating the officer is harder for us than it was for the CCTV operator.”

After hearing about the hit and run of the little girl which 18 people worked past without helping her.

This article needs as much cover,

Guangzhou Man Perishes While Trying to Save Drowning Girl

On the night of October 19th, Niu Zuotao jumped into the Zhujiang River to save a drowning girl’s life, but neither he nor the girl made it back to shore. That night, Niu Zuotao was walking along the river with his friends, when they noticed a girl suddenly jump into the water nearby. After pausing for a moment, he removed his shoes, left his wallet and cell phone with his friends, and without taking off the rest of his clothes, jumped into the river after her. According to witnesses, Niu Zuotao got a hold of the drowning girl but couldn’t get a grip on the slippery banks of the river. After struggling to stay afloat for a time, the two people disappeared under the surface of the water. On the afternoon of October 20th, their bodies were found drifted ashore further downstream.

This new case has received much national attention, as Niu Zuotao’s selfless actions, which cost him his life lie in stark contrast to the recent incident where 18 pedestrians ignored a small girl who had been hit by two separate vehicles.

The news said that the police have the drivers of both vans and have charged them both, not sure what they are charged with.

But also the people that just walked past should be named too.

John,

The article you posted about the toddler who was ran over and ignored makes me irate. I also think about "am I m brother ( or sister's ) keeper", and how many people they are that take this saying to heart !
