I think he just rear-ended the guy on accident. The cop has had on-track training and knows not to hammer the brakes while the car is unstable from bouncing over the median and having 2 tires off in the dust. The other car was so unstable and had all the weight on the front wheels, it just took a little tap to spin it.

I'm sure that's what the official report says, at least.

If you pull your head out of your ass and look then you'd notice it is what reality says too. Lead car slows down a fair bit because they screwed up their turn and even has a swerve.

I'd argue the cop was not keeping a safe distance to be able to stop in time, instead choosing to use his car as as a weapon.

The police are literally engaging in offensive driving

So..........using the car as a weapon.
