now i agree that maybe the kids should have waited for the cop to pass, but maybe they didnt realize how fast the car was actually going... and as the quote for HT said they have a yellow blinking arrow to signal the right of way... so they thought the cop was going to stop.

either way its bullshit and i hope he gets sentenced to death by motor vehicle.
yellow blinking arrow on a traffic light do not mean go therefore does not give them the right of way. just means to proceed with caution. which neither of them were doing. you don't see people going on the blinking yellow arrows that are always on on manchester rd because that gives them the right of way, do you? no. because there would be a billion accidents a day.

No matter what, it's not easy to judge the speed of an oncoming vehicle at night. The accident would have been avoided if the worthless cop hadn't been going nearly twice the speed limit.
