There was a third person in the back that looked perfectly capable. While I am normally the first to exclaim "NO!, Do not call the F'ing police!" This is one case they probably should have.

And absolutely not dismissing the officers actions, a car speeding towards the hospital with the hazards should be given a little more leeway until they give reason not to. Our entire police force in the US is an unfixable mess that needs to be razed and build back from the ground up.
