1. No, I don't think so. Although it is the duty of police officers to save victims in accidents, they should not be blamed for failing to save the victims on some occasions. It would be unfair to blame them as situations may become out of their control. Sometimes they themselves may get injured or even die in their efforts to save those in danger. So in this sense, they may fail to save victims, but they are still heroes and are respectable.

2. Helping others surely has its benefits. When we help others, we can derive a feeling of happiness and a sense of fulfillment. We will earn respect from other people. Besides, by helping others, we set an example for others who, in turn, will help even more people. If we extend a helping hand whenever necessary, we will help build a more friendly and harmonious world.

3. I think it depends on the situation. If you know your sacrifice will save another person's life, it is undoubtedly worthwhile even if you have to risk your own life. Nonetheless, if you clearly know that your efforts won't save them even at the cost of your own life, then it is not a good idea to give up your own life. Maybe a better and more practical way is to ask more people for help. This way, you will not only save the victim, but also avoid unnecessary casualties.
