A video of the incident is titled 'Denver cops let man drown.'
On the evening of June 25, 22-year-old Ison Inaujee drowned in Ferril Lake in City Park, and at least one witness — who videotaped much of the incident — doesn't think Denver authorities did enough to help.
"I hear some sort of yelling or singing or something," Deshe recalls. It was a man treading water in the lake; a small crowd was watching."It didn't seem like anything was terribly wrong at that exact moment," he adds."Out of nowhere, police show up." "Swim back toward land!" the officer shouts. Sirens in the background grow louder, as more cops arrive on the scene.
After that, for at least 38 seconds of the video, the man cannot be seen except for one brief moment, when his head briefly pops up out of the water near the far side of the boat. The police search for a few more minutes until the women in the swan boat eventually take them back to shore.
