This is exactly why the right of way is to be given, and not taken

I see you read the post, reakhavoc or whatever your name is, did you notice that this appears to be directed at you?

and
why emergency vehicles always slow down at intersections. This the
first time I have seen an emergency vehicle, NOT do that.

Yep, absolutely the cop's fault. They are required to slow to verify
intersection clearance, at least if the light is red. This cop didn't
do that.

Hell, I didn't even realize it was red. Yup, his fault. But I wonder
if the civilian will get blamed?


Of course, but only because a cop is always right.
