This seems like a case of police entitlement to me. Both cops thought that, because they had their sirens on, they did not have to concern themselves with intersection safety and could each blow through the intersection at full speed. I don’t know the exact regulation, but I’d wager that the police handbook says something like “approach intersection with caution and proceed only when clear” which obviously neither did. It’s just too bad that the only person who suffered serious consequences is someone who had nothing to do with it.
