Of course, it is the cop, not the four year old, who is the victim.
I forgot, we must defend our government employees at all costs, Comrade.
After all, when it is your daughter, your niece, your granddaughter, or your female relative who lies bleeding, and the governement employee who struck her believes his *occupation* is more important justification to relate than a *fervent, sincere apology for causing a tragic accident*, at least you’ll have the satisfaction of saying:
“Oh, you’re a police officer, that’s different then. I thought you were a mere mundane who struck my daughter/granddaughter/niece/female relative.”

This is obviously a difference in values. My mom was injured in a serious accident. The guy fled the scene of the accident. I never thought of hunting him down and administering a beating. Stuff happens. And my mom wasn't even darting into traffic like this little girl - she was standing in the middle of the road between lanes and the moron hit her.
