California man drowns while emergency responders stand by and watch!!

[2fast4u2]

Police and firefighters stood on a California beach and watched as a suicidal man waded into the San Francisco Bay and drowned in the surf.
The body of Raymond Zack was finally pulled from the 54-degree water by a passerby as local fire officials blamed budget cuts for their inability to save the man.
"We are absolutely going to do an investigation," Alameda, Calif., Mayor Marie Gilmore promised after the Memorial Day tragedy.
"And we are planning to do it in as transparent a way as possible."

soooo watching is free, but helping costs them money?
