I can understand the cop starting out with gun drawn and a bad attitude: he turned on his lights, the guy ran a light, refused to pull over, then everybody piles out of the car in a panic when they do stop. Not unreasonable to be safe, since clearly something isn't right. However, when the nurse and security guard come out and say, hey this guy's mother in law is dying, it's time to pull your head out of your power-tripping ass.

And sorry about your uncle, Raj .

Love how one misjudgment automatically negates everything positive he's ever done as an officer..
