I agree. Must police officers works unsupervised, and must exercise initiative tempered with judgement in carrying out their duties. The driver of the car was driving with his emergency lights on. He stop at the red light, before preceding through it. When the police officer turned on his red/blue lights to signal for the car driver to pull over, the car driver did not try to flee, but did continue on allowing the police officer to follow.
When the car driver entered the hospital property and stop at the emergency room, it have been a strong hint to the police officer that all was not well and there could be a pending health care emergency. The police officer's priorities should have shifted toward providing help to the passengers of the car; rather, than enforcing any minor traffic violations. I suspect the police officer really isn't suited to the job, and should be reassigned or forced to seek employment more in line with his personality traits and abilities.
