Literally there are 4 idiots here, the two cars in front, the opposing car, and the biggest of all, the cop.

Actually, you're the idiot since you are blaming the cop. You pull off to the right for emergency vehicles. Slow or even stop. All these drivers around the cop are failing.

Cop still drives into oncoming traffic when there was an open lane on his left. Yeah they SHOULD move over, but because they didn’t that doesn’t mean drive into oncoming traffic.

Look again, the oncoming traffic lane was clear and clearing except for the one dude that hit the cop… while the cop had stopped dead to give him time to move over. Zero fault for the cop here.

They very much can when they're siren is ringing. Sounds like you are too stubborn to move. All traffic should be moving to the right lane on their respective sides.

Just because they “can” doesn’t mean they should. The people that don’t move over are idiots, but that doesn’t mean be the bigger idiot and drive into oncoming traffic.

The police car came to a complete stop, the car then continued at a relatively low speed and failed to stop while having plenty of room to do so. How is that any different than a car in their direction of travel coming to a stop in front of them? If the cop car was still moving I would agree with you, in this case the car is 100% at fault.

Cut your license up and go take the test a few more times. You have no clue as to traffic laws as pertains to emergency vehicles.

They are supposed to have emergency lights on and sirens, there is clearly no emergency lights on because you'd see them reflecting of the hood. Also it's busy traffic and a double yellow
