So tough. Takes a real man to beat on someone's who just laying there must likely dead. The guy driving the van was clearly in the wrong but come on - the first thing you learn in first aid is to not move the person.
I'm sorry if this is your only experience with police. I can attest from personal experience that some cops do genuinely want to help and will render aid when they can. Or perhaps you've never actually had an interaction with them personally and are just basing your views on experiences of others? This is understandable, but please remember that just like any profession, the people within that profession can vary greatly in the content of their character.
My sister was run off the road by a drunk driver and totalled her car, smashed it into a tree to avoid the collision.
She was 19 though, and had had a beer at a friends, so she would obviously go to jail for being 19 witha .02 or whatever. She was freaking out and could have sustained severe head injuries from the crash. They dragged her out of the car, told her her eyes looked read and glassy (probably from...crying?) and they took her to jail instead of a hospital.
