The government just killed an innocent person. You are lamenting that pushback against that makes it less desirable to be a government worker?

Cops run lights and sirens for a reason.

Lights and sirens don’t give cops a license to completely disregard public safety.

There’s always going to be some speed at which blowing through a red light at a busy intersection amounts to negligence. I would be very curious to know how fast they were actually going and whether the other driver actually had a green light.

On the one hand, the other driver was (reportedly) deaf which would have slowed his reaction time compared to another driver. On the other hand, there were 8 vehicles (including the police car and the driver who was killed) involved in the accident and an engine block was completely separated from one of the vehicles.
