A police union in Arizona has defended its officers’ decision to not save a drowning man in Tempe late last month, claiming that they did not have the resources to conduct the rescue.
Chilling bodycam footage and a transcript of the 28 May incident show an officer telling Sean Bickings “I’m not jumping in after you” moments before he died in the water at Tempe Town Lake. Three police officers allegedly stood by as the man begged them for help before drowning.
