I would think the "bystander effect" the shrink mentioned on the clip has nothing to do with this particular case, as there were no crowds of people around the man dying.
All the people shown were individuals that passed by and did nothing, not gawk at the situation from a crowd.

So yes, it is directly a morality issue of the passerbys.
Especially the man who simply took pictures on his cell phone and walked off without calling 911 with that very phone he just used.
That is a disgusting behavior, and I can't imagine what is going on through that young man's head.
