To be clear, causing the fatal wreck was AOK with the court. They're just saying, maybe the cops should've administered CPR or called for paramedics instead of cracking jokes and smoking cigarettes after the crash.
Also, gotta love the dissenting opinion — that police are under no obligation to render any assistance at all, since they hadn't placed the dying man under arrest.
In this case, Plaintiff was left to die, as a result of injuries induced by the police. They could have tried to save him; but chose not to do so.
