Should cameraman capture cop dying or go to help him?

In an exercise among Mass Communication students of Lingaya’s Lalita Devi Institute of Management & Sciences, Mandi to express their views (50 words) on the filming of dying sub-inspector (44-year old Vetrivel) of Tamil Nadu on Jan 9, 2010 after he was brutally attacked by a gang in Tirunelveli District; one of the students write:

What I think is that the cameraman did his job. As a journalist he did his duty by showing the reality. The negligence was from the ministers’ side. When these cops risk their lives just for the sake of ministers’ security, it is the duty of ministers to do the same. They could call for an ambulance in time or could have taken the cop in one of the cars.
