Five teens filmed and mocked a disabled man as he drowned in Florida, but as disturbing as the footage is, it doesn’t appear that any laws were broken, according to officials. Jamel Dunn, 32, drowned in a retention pond July 9 as the group of teens reportedly watched and laughed in Cocoa, Florida. It was not until three days later that his body was discovered, according to Florida Today. Soon after Dunn’s body was recovered, a video surfaced on social media that depicted his final moments, authorities said. Modal Trigger The horrifying footage recorded by one of the teens shows Dunn struggle as he screams for help in the water. Police said that the teens told Dunn, who walked with a cane, not to go into the murky waters. “The kids were at the park that day smoking marijuana and apparently saw him walk into the water. He walked in on his own. They were watching him,” said Yvonne Martinez, Cocoa Police Department spokesperson. No one called 911 when he started having trouble staying above water. “He started to struggle and scream for help and they just laughed,” Martinez said. “They didn’t call the police. They just laughed the whole time. He was just screaming … for someone to help him.” When Dunn fails to surface in the pond, the teens continue to joke about him. “Oh, he just died,” one teen was heard saying, prompting the group to break out in laughter. Police were notified about the video when a family friend of Dunn, who had two daughters, saw the footage on social media. Authorities interviewed the teens, but do not expect to charge them even though their actions had “no moral justification.” “While the incident depicted on the recording does not give rise to sufficient evidence to support a criminal prosecution under Florida statutes, we can find no moral justification for either the behavior of persons heard on the recording or the deliberate decision not to render aid to Mr. Dunn,” the Brevard-Seminole State Attorney’s Office said in a statement. Despite the tragic outcome, the teens didn’t appear to show any grief, according to police. “There was no remorse, only a smirk,” Martinez said. Dunn’s friends created a GoFundMe page to raise money for his funeral.

These sociopaths would have done the same thing even if they hadn't been smoking pot. Nah. It was because of the pot. Which they were smoking for medical reasons.
Welcome to post-Christian America, where children grow up learning that abortion and suicide are rights. This was just a late abortion or a suicide. No biggie. Couldn't get a hook-up with that cane anyway. What kind of quality of life is that?! Let's put it on youtube and get famous. Fame! It's what life is all about.

They sounded black. Which means the odds are they can't swim, much less rescue a drowning man. Even then, these sociopaths could have called 911.
The poor guy was drowning, why have the cops shoot him too?
A quick death?

True. The 911 operator would say, "Stay right there. We've been looking for you."
Agreed here
