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.
Pictures from the scene of the accident:
