...while they dealt with the husband. The fact is that the man broke the law. He should have called an ambulance to transport his wife to the hospital. Or, if that would have taken too much time, he should have called 911 en route to the hospital, and they would have sent a police escort to allow him to proceed through intersections (or at least been aware of the situation so the confrontation with the policeman could have been avoided).

the point is, the officer is not required to show compassion, only enforce the law

At the very least the officer should have let medical personnel take the woman in for treatment

"The fact is that the man broke the law" is nonsense. That's what judgment is for.

I'm saying the fact that the law was broken is totally irrelevent,
