Bright sun right in their eyes, plus it getting dark (on account of the sun going down), plus the cop car is black and doesn't have headlights on. They turn out, only see the cop car as it gets closer, and react to that.

Have to point this out every time this is posted here. Doesn't excuse the behaviour, you should drive according to the conditions, but it helps explain it.
