Dashcam video shows Fla. deputies debating whether to rescue girls from stolen car in pond

Dashcam video and audio released earlier this month show deputies debating whether to rescue three teenage girls from a stolen car as it was sinking in a Florida pond.
All three of the girls drowned. At one point, a deputy shouts, "I hear them yelling, I think," but they concluded it would be too unsafe to try pulling the girls out of the car, which had plunged 15 feet into the water.
It started when a deputy reported spotting the stolen 1998 Honda Accord without headlights on March 31 near St. Petersburg. After trying to escape law enforcement, the driver apparently missed a sharp turn near a cemetery, plunging into the water, Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said.
Being in a swamp at night has dangers ranging from quicksand to alligators.
As they say, play with fire, get burned.

Pro: If you let them drown, you don't have to shoot them.
Con: No vacation ("suspended with pay pending internal investigation").

Sheriff grills race baiting reporters over their coverage of this event. Worth watching.
