We live in such a f*cked-up society that we would rather standby, record and post a situation then help those involved. Stop recording and call 911, be compassionate not a jackass – PB/TK
‘Bro, you scared to see a dead person?’: Teens film, mock man as he drowned, police say – By Alex Horton / July 20 2017
About seven seconds into the video, a teenager raises the specter of death.
“Get out the water, you’re gonna die,” one of the teens shouts to a disabled man whom his friends are watching struggle fully clothed in a fenced-in pond. “You shouldn’t have gone in,” says another. The kids laugh.
“He keeps putting his head under,” another says. “Wow.” Once the group realizes the weight of the situation, one of the boys prods another.
“Bro, you scared to see a dead person?” he asks.
Jamel Dunn, 32, drowned on July 9 in Cocoa, Fla., a coastal city east of Orlando. The teenagers, aged 14 to 16, filmed the incident as they laughed and mocked Dunn, then posted the video to social media. The video, which police called “extremely disturbing,” was found by detectives and handed over to Brevard County State Attorney’s Office, which recently released it to Florida Today.
“He started to struggle and scream for help and they just laughed. They didn’t call the police. They just laughed the whole time. He was just screaming … for someone to help him,” Yvonne Martinez, spokeswoman for the Cocoa Police Department, told the paper, which posted only audio of the incident. Both the police department and attorney general’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
